Daddy by J.L. Quick

Jorge

I’ve always been the life of the party. At least, that’s what I want people to think. But what no one knows is that underneath all the confidence and frivolous one-night stands, I’m looking for something real. Something deep. Someone who gets me.

Put up for bid in a bachelor auction, I’m in awe of the two men fighting over me. But it’s the familiar voice calling over them that shocks me—Rory McLaughlin. Older, quiet, more experience and—let’s face it—everything I’ve been too afraid to admit I want. But when his audacious bid rings through the room, I can’t lie to myself anymore.

This might be just another meaningless fling… or it could be the beginning of everything I’ve been hoping for: the Daddy—and the Evans—I’ve always wanted.

Rory

My life is a constant dance with danger—riddled with bullets, flirting with death at every turn. But when it comes to the men I choose, I’m careful. I’ve kept the men in my life buried in secrecy, shielding them from the chaos that surrounds me. But I’m tired of the hollow encounters and empty connections.

I’ve been watching Jorge from the shadows for years, unable to let him know how badly I’ve wanted him. Tonight, when I see him on that auction block, I know one thing for certain—I can’t let anyone else have him. Not after all this time. The bidding war is fierce, but I’m not backing down. I need him. He will be mine.
