Sara Cate delivers a dark, seductive, and emotionally charged twist on Cinderella in Shattered Innocence, part of the Black Auction series. With high stakes, forbidden desires, and a love that defies expectations, this book takes readers on a thrilling journey of passion, sacrifice, and unexpected devotion. 

Birdie has spent her life trapped under the control of her ruthless stepmother, dreaming of the day she can escape with the one person who truly matters—her stepsister, Violet. But when her stepmother puts her up for auction, selling her to the highest bidder, Birdie sees an opportunity for freedom. 

Violet’s plan is simple—convince her powerful ex, Alaric Stone, to bid for Birdie’s hand and secure her safety. But when the night doesn’t go as planned, and Birdie is forced to give more than she bargained for, Alaric makes it clear he’s not letting her go. He wants Birdie. He wants Violet. And he’s determined to claim them both. 

As the three of them navigate their tangled emotions, the danger lurking behind Birdie’s stepmother’s schemes threatens to destroy everything. Can they fight for their love and escape the grip of the past, or will Birdie be forced to choose between the two people who hold her heart? 

Shattered Innocence is a seductive, high-stakes romance filled with tension, scorching passion, and unexpected tenderness. Alaric is the ultimate dominant, possessive protector, while Birdie and Violet’s bond adds emotional depth to this unconventional love story. With its Cinderella-inspired twists, dark auction setting, and intense chemistry, this book is a must-read for fans of forbidden romance, MFF dynamics, and fairytales with an edge.
