The Birthday Bid
Distinguished Gentlemen
Reeks: Distinguished Gentlemen
Suzette D. Harrison
- It's
- blackmail,
- blindfolds,
- and
- her
- fortieth
- birthday.
- How
- else
- would
- beauty
- influencer,
- Senaé
- Dawson,
- wind
- up
- at
- a
- bachelor
- auction?
- Whisked
- away
- without
- a
- say,
- her
- besties
- treat
- her
- to
- a
- birthday
- bid
- at
- an
- auction
- featuring
- decadent
- Black
- men.
- Inevitably
- infected
- by
- the
- hype,
- Senaé's
- excitement
- hits
- hyper
- drive
- until
- the
- blindfold's
- removed
- from
- her
- eyes.
- She's
- dumbstruck
- to
- discover
- she's
- just
- "bought"
- her
- ex-husband.Lexington
- "Lex"
- Ryde
- turned
- his
- love
- for
- cars
- into
- a
- multi-million
- dollar
- private
- transportation
- business
- serving
- Black
- Hollywood's
- A-list.
- His
- line
- of
- work
- taught
- Lex
- to
- be
- prepared
- at
- a
- moment's
- notice.
- But
- seeing
- his
- ex-wife
- face-to-face
- for
- the
- first
- time
- in
- twenty
- years
- leaves
- him
- feeling
- as
- if
- "sucker-punched
- by
- Tyson
- and
- Holyfield."
- Thanks
- to
- their
- problematic
- past,
- neither
- is
- pleased
- with
- this
- bachelor
- auction
- "ridiculousness",
- or
- the
- instant
- flare
- of
- hot,
- sexual
- attraction
- erupting
- between
- them.
- But
- being
- Mama
- Peaches'
- first
- foster
- child,
- Lex
- can't
- renege.
- He's
- stuck
- with
- the
- auction
- results...and
- the
- unpleasant
- truth
- that
- he's
- still
- in
- love
- with
- his
- ex.
- Take
- the
- ride
- with
- Senaé
- and
- Lex!
- They'll
- confront
- a
- painful
- past,
- consider
- their
- present,
- and
- encounter
- an
- unwanted
- admirer
- who
- must
- be
- dealt with.
