Taken by the Highest Bidder

Samantha has long been feeling the effects of her husband Johann's gambling addiction. He'd almost lost everything they had, and now, he's even bet Samantha! When a man named Cristiano appears after winning Johann's last bet, Samantha's husband disappears, and she's forced to give in to the man who bested him. But when she and her daughter, Gabby, suddenly run away to the orphanage Samantha grew up in, they discover that even that won't keep Cristiano from pursuing his winnings!
