The Collector's Concession
By @john1208
Luna Thorne, an audacious conceptual artist, finds her world crumbling as her family’s historic atelier faces imminent foreclosure. Her grandmother's life work, and Luna's last link to a fading legacy, is threatened by a soulless corporate takeover. Desperate, Luna confronts Alistair Vance, the enigmatic billionaire developer spearheading the acquisition—a man whose cold ambition chills her to the bone. He offers a lifeline, a concession wrapped in silk-smooth danger: curate an exclusive art collection for his most controversial skyscraper project, sacrificing her artistic integrity for her family’s survival.
Every clash of their wills sparks an electric tension, a dangerous dance between her chaotic brilliance and his meticulous control. His gaze, sharp and assessing, promises both ruin and an illicit thrill. She hates his calculated precision, yet finds herself drawn to the hidden depths beneath his icy exterior, her heartbeat quickening whenever he’s near. If she fails, not only does her family lose everything, but she risks losing herself—her spirit, her art, her very soul—to the man who sees beauty only in acquisition.
