The year is 2135, young girls participate in virgin auctions, which are now held in every city, where wealthy men can buy themselves a young bride for an exorbitantly high price. Girls are trained to be submissive and obedient wives who can please their future husbands. Once sold, they are at the mercy of their new owners. Veronica Dubois doesn't know what to expect when her time comes to participate in the virgin auction. Bought by Kristoff St. Michaels, a man twice her size and age, Veronica fears that her new husband will be cruel and heartless, like many wealthy men who come to auctions. But when Kristoff reveals an unexpected side to her, Veronica realizes that maybe all those terrible stories about him were not true, and perhaps she still has a chance to find her happiness.
