The Lit Half
Sterling Hartmann
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
My mother's chemo costs four thousand, two hundred dollars per infusion. The dress they put me in at the auction cost exactly the same.
I did the math. I always do the math. And the math said: bartending thirty-eight thousand a year, treatment bill two hundred eighty thousand, time to save enough — never.
So I walked into an underground auction and let fifty men with paddles decide what I was worth.
Sixty million dollars. Four buyers. One month.
They gave me a penthouse, a schedule, and twelve-hour blocks where I belonged to each of them. The art collector who kissed a childhood scar like it was part of the composition. The tech billionaire who measured every reaction my body made — until the night he turned the sensors off. The Texan who pinned me against a wall at thirty thousand feet and whispered equal like it cost him something. The quiet one who tied me in rope to prove he could let me go.
I told myself it was a transaction. I could price anything — a kiss, a touch, a night. I'd been pricing myself for two years.
Then someone asked: What would you want if the contract didn't exist?
And my calculator stopped.
The month ended. My mother's treatment was covered. The door was open.
I didn't walk through it.
The Lit Half is a dark billionaire reverse harem romance. Four possessive men. One woman who priced everything until she found something the math couldn't measure. Steamy content for readers 18+. No cheating. All the heat you can handle.
