    About this ebook

    Amanda (Mandi) Jenkins, a recent college graduate, who has just inherited an art gallery in New York when her mother died, wasn't ready for a relationship. Not only was she grieving her only parent's death, but she was way over her head running an art gallery on her own.

    Sophia Leon, who was her ex-roommate in college, only wanted what was best for the two people she loved the most - her grieving friend Mandi and her workaholic and recently cuckold bitter confirmed bachelor brother Sergio.

    In the biggest social charitable auction in New York, conveniently hosted by Sophia, Mandi is placed on display for auction as a desirable bachelorette. What she doesn't know is that Sergio and his friends from his gentleman club, known by all ladies in the know, as the Bad Boys Billionaire Bachelors Club, appropriately named for the most elusive eligible bachelors in the world, would all be there.

    A reluctant bachelorette, a bitter confirmed billionaire bachelor, hot sex, and scheming matchmaking friends make Bidding for a Billionaire a fun sexy romance that is a must read for anyone who enjoy getting swept off their feet sexy romances involving alpha males and women who challenge them.

      Bidding on the Billionaire - Rachel Angel

      Chapter 1

      Owning an art gallery was never on the list of accomplishments that Amanda Perkins had for her life, or her career.  That had been her mother’s dream, and her mother was brilliant at it with her fine eye for art, and creative abilities.  Yet, after her mom had lost her fight with breast cancer Amanda found that she’d inherited the Melinda Perkins Fine Art Gallery, and all that came with running such a business.

      Another day was nearing an end, and quite frankly, Amanda was exhausted.  The temptations of the active New York City night life were easy for her to resist in lieu of a good story and a glass of wine by the time her work day came to an end.  She knew that she should consider selling the gallery to someone who was more passionate about art than her, but every time someone offered to buy it she’d find a reason to back out of it. That gallery represented the life of her mother, and was the last connection she had to her since her death.  If she sold it she’d have to truly acknowledge that she was all alone in this world, and really would have to pursue the dreams that she’d put on the backburner, including an actual social life that involved dating, and perhaps finding the one.

      As Amanda finished picking up her office she heard the buzzer of the front door of the gallery.  She rolled her eyes, hoping that it would not be a customer who wanted to have a detailed discussion about anything, or share their perspectives on every piece of art in the gallery.

      Mandi, where are you? A voice called out, and she breathed a sigh of relief.  It was Sophia, her best friend and by far one of the most energetic people she’d ever known in her life.  She was non-stop.

      Sophia, how’s it going?  I haven’t seen you for at least a month.  It’s great to see you.  Mandi went up and hugged her best friend and ex-college roommate.  She looked impeccable as always, perfectly coiffed blonde hair that accented her lovely face, petite frame, and sparkling blue eyes. 

      I am here to take you out to my charity auction tonight.  It’s to benefit the children’s hospital, and I know you’ll have a blast.

      Really? Mandi asked.  She tossed around the debate between kicking back in her lounging clothes, and getting dressed up to go to an event.  One thing was for certain, any event that Sophia threw together was never casual.  It was extravagant and most likely black tie too.

      You need to get out and live a little.  This is the perfect event for you.  There are going to be some gorgeous available men there, including Sergio and some of his friends. 

      That caught Mandi’s attention. Sophia’s brother Sergio was one of those guys who were so good looking that it made you become way too easily distracted. Sophia’s brother or not, he was hot. He exuded a dark sensuality and intensity that made him mysterious still yet a familiarity and ease that made him approachable. His mannerisms and cocky charm had always brought out quite the combination of emotions in Mandi when she was still in college and had first met him.  At times she thought he was like the dream guy, the one who lived an exciting life and could take her out of her shell, and she welcomed the thought.  Then there were the times when Mandi would suddenly feel like being in a relationship with such a dynamic person would be overwhelming, and it would be impossible to do anything without drawing lots of attention.  Of course, these were all thoughts that Mandi kept hidden in her mind because she’d never be so bold as to assume that she’d have a chance with Sergio.  He was about five years older than her, and really had his choice of just about any woman out there.  Besides having one of the hottest bodies and gorgeous faces she’d seen, he was brilliant and smart, a self-made young billionaire in a world of high-fashion and glamour. Why would he choose her?  And then, of course, there was the fact that Sergio was her best friend’s brother.  Well, it was still a nice fantasy. A girl can dream, can’t she?

      We have one hour to get you ready, Mandi, Sophia continued, not noticing that she hadn’t responded to her last statement.  Let’s go.

      Five minutes later, the gallery was locked up and Mandi was sitting in the passenger seat of Sophia’s new Beamer convertible, and they were making their way to Mandi’s loft.  The ride was enjoyable, and it was still early enough that the traffic was fairly light, considering how busy 5th Avenue was most all the time.

      Where’s the benefit at?

      At The Glass Houses, and let me tell you—it looks phenomenal.  The committee really busted their tails to help me out.

      Mandi smiled.  Sophia didn’t hold anything back, and leave it to her to pull off booking such an in demand place at the last minute.  I guess that was a perk that came with being ultra-wealthy, not to mention ultra-persuasive.

      Sophia and Mandi went into her loft.  For Mandi, it was one of her most favorite places.  She’d been able to buy it with the inheritance from her mother, and work on it over time.  Naturally she already had the source of artwork for decorating it covered through the gallery, but she’d also enjoyed putting it all together to represent her a little more.  Despite her not having a big social life, Mandi had a colorful and vibrant personality, one that drew attention even when she wasn’t trying to.  It showed in the modern eclectic elements of her loft, and she felt very relaxed whenever she was at home.

      Okay, let’s go look in my closet and see if I have anything to wear to your big gala, Sophia.  It may be challenging.

      Give me a break.  You look gorgeous in anything, and one thing I know for certain is that you have fantastic taste with the things you buy.  I’m sure you’ll have something.

      "On second thought, why don’t you go look through the closet while I freshen up, and do something with this hair.  Mandi held out the end of her French ponytail, which she’d worn that day.  Her dark hair showed its smooth perfection, not even having one dry or split end on it.

      Sounds good.

      Within a very short period of time, Sophia was standing outside the bathroom and holding up an outfit that she thought would be perfect.  Try this.

      Mandi looked.  The dress was among the skimpiest that Mandi owned and was more dressed up than anything she’d worn in about a year when she’d gone to the New Year’s Eve party that Sophia’s parents had hosted.  Okay.  Give me ten.

      True to her word, Mandi came out ten minutes later a transformed person.  Her hair was now hanging down with loose curls in the end, and a beautiful barrette loosely pulling it back out of her face.  That was something Mandi usually did when she was going out because she had a nervous habit of tucking her hair behind her ears on occasion.  Her light make-up made her bright green eyes look stunning, almost mesmerizing too. She was the picture of class, sophistication, and approachability all wrapped up in one beautiful package.

      Ooh la la, Sophia said, whistling at Mandi.  She was wearing a black form fitting dress with a slight flair just above the knees.  The neckline was plunging and showed her very attractive curves, and long legs off nicely.  Oh my gosh, those gold heels are the perfect accent.  You look fantastic, and you’ll be perfect if one of my bachelor’s doesn’t show up.

      What are you talking about? Mandi asked, not liking the premise of Sophia’s question.

      Well, the gala is to raise money for children, and we are doing that by having a bachelor auction.  They’re all boys from the Bad Boys Billionaire Bachelors Club, thanks to Sergio agreeing to help me out.  It would be great to have one bachelorette in there if it was necessary, and you definitely fit that bill.  You are stunning, and I know that you’d draw a great price.

      And let me guess...you are the one who will be doing the describing of the goods up for auction.

      Who else could describe you and the others better than me?  There is a professional auctioneer for the actual bidding though—just for a bit of fun.

      I sure hope that guy shows up, Mandi commented.  The thought of standing up there in front of everyone and getting auctioned off was slightly overwhelming.  It would be fun to watch the guys though, and who knows, maybe she’d even bid on one.  After all, this was all for children.

      You’ll be just fine either way.  Now let’s go.  It wouldn’t be very good if the hostess was late, would it?

      Definitely not.  By the way, Sophia, are there going to be any guys there who you are interested in?

      Maybe, Sophia replied, winking mischievously.  That’s probably a battle best served for a different day.  It’ll be a busy night. 

      Mandi smiled at her friend.  She was so casual and assured that she would eventually find the one—that guy that finally clicked with her, and she could create a future with.  She was inspiring, and gave all girls hope that love would always prosper in the end.

      Chapter 2

      The first person to greet Mandi and Sophia when they entered the ballroom was Sergio.  Mandi tried not to act too obvious, but she was immediately drawn to how gorgeous and sophisticated he looked.  His black Armani tux, black bowtie, and sapphire studded cufflinks and studs sparkled in the glimmering light, and were only offset by an amazing smile that definitely showed he was still a heartbreaker.  He was better looking than she’d recalled since seeing him last a few years ago, more sophisticated and intense.

      Mandi, it’s so great to see you, Sergio said, leaning in to hug her, making Mandi instantly tingle from the feel of his muscular physique. 

      And I’m so glad to see you.  You’re looking very dapper, Sergio.  You should bring a good price at Sophia’s latest fundraising efforts.

      You’re too kind, Mandi.

      There was a brief pause when Mandi and Sergio looked at each other appreciatively.  Sergio couldn’t believe how much Mandi had matured, and had transformed from a pretty college girl to a stunning sexy woman. She was gorgeous with that thick shining long hair that he can imagine grabbing a handful of, green eyes that
