Buy Me, Baby : She had secrets. He had reasons. The bid changed everything.

When charismatic billionaire Max Caldwell attends a high-profile charity auction, the last thing he expects is to bid—let alone win. But when a mystery woman takes the stage, his curiosity turns to shock. Eliza James, his brilliant, sharp-tongued high school rival, is now a glamorous philanthropist with a social media following and a past that’s just as complex as his own.
Driven by ego, nostalgia, and something he can't quite name, Max places an absurdly high bid—and wins a date that neither of them wants.
What begins as a forced reunion quickly spirals into something more. Thrown together to co-chair a major charity initiative, Max and Eliza clash at every turn—he with his high-powered connections and corporate polish, she with her grassroots passion and no-nonsense grit. But beneath the sarcasm and sparks, old wounds begin to heal, revealing a chemistry that neither of them can deny.
As they navigate public scrutiny, private fears, and the pull of their complicated history, Max and Eliza are forced to confront what they really want—from each other and from the future. With the help of a precocious young niece and a shared mission that matters, they discover that love might just be the most worthwhile risk of all.
Buy Me, Baby is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance filled with sharp banter, emotional depth, and the powerful reminder that sometimes, your greatest rival might just be your perfect match.
