Bidding on the Geek
(2025)(A book in the Bidding on the Small Town Bachelor series)
A novel by Tizahmi
She thought she was bidding on a shy IT geek 💻… she never expected the deadly ninja 🔥 who came with him.
Diego Morales came to Texas to patch software, not fall in lust with a woman who he knows tastes like danger and sees right through him.
By day, he’s the quiet new tech contractor. By night, a Kōga Clan-trained ninja on a covert mission to recover stolen intel before it sparks a global war. He’s supposed to stay low. Blend in. Not to be auctioned off for charity… and definitely not claimed by the one woman who was never part of the mission.
Charlotte Barnes has a fascination with the mysterious and the men associated with it. She thought she'd left her wild streak behind in New York—along with her high-profile career and the illusion of control. The unexpected Diego has secrets written all over his skin.
Now back in her small hometown, Charlotte's trying to figure out what comes next, because working in her family diner is the life option she left behind long ago. That same life option and the town's bachelor auction were about to drop a sinfully intense younger man right into her lap.
Weeks of smoldering looks, one reckless bid, and she owns his time for the weekend. But Diego is no ordinary man.
When sparks turn to wildfire, and a shadow from Diego’s secret life draws too close. Soon, Charlotte becomes more than a complication. She becomes leverage.
Now the man trained to feel nothing will risk everything for the one woman who makes him feel everything.
Steamy. Lethal. Unputdownable.
Bidding on the Geek delivers a swoon-worthy romance laced with secrets, spies, and a heat that could burn the whole town down.
Perfect for fans of steamy suspense, deadly cinnamon rolls, reverse age-gap romance, and undercover heat.
Be wary of the shadows.
Tropes:
