Sold to the Beret by Cassi Hart

Rose
I’ve lived a life full of all the comfort money can offer, until my stepfather decides to get me out of the way. Now my body and my future are up for auction. As powerful men bid for the chance to take my virtue, there’s one in the crowd who I hope will win.
Why does he seem like a light in the darkness?
Once he’s purchased me, and brought me into his home, I realize I’ve never felt more at peace. I don’t want him to ever let me go. Can I trust my instincts—is this the one man who will never hurt me?

My search for a missing person has taken me to many dark places—but this place is the worst. There’s never been a case I can’t solve, so I shouldn’t be surprised when I see her on that stage, her gorgeous body on display. She doesn’t belong in a place like this—she deserves to be pampered, protected, worshiped.
Now that I’ve found her, I know I must keep her safe her at all costs.
I can’t allow anyone to hurt her again—even myself. And even if that means protecting her from the truth about her mother.
She is mine, and I’ll hunt down anyone who has ever caused her pain.
