The Penthouse Pact
By @john1208
Wrenley Finch, an urban botanist on the brink of losing her family’s legacy garden, accepts a high-paying gig: transforming the sterile penthouse of reclusive tech titan Asher Thorne into a living oasis. Just as she’s meticulously placing the last rare orchid, a sudden, impenetrable lockdown seals the building, trapping her inside with the notoriously private billionaire. Asher, targeted by a dangerous rival, can't risk her leaving, nor can she contact the outside world without compromising his security – or her own future. Every silent meal, every shared glance across the opulent, inescapable space, pulls her deeper into his guarded world. The scent of her blooming flora clashes with his stark control, a heady reminder of the life she’s losing and the dangerous one she's gained. If she fails to navigate this gilded cage, not only will her botanical dreams wither, but her very heart might become ensnared by the man whose proximity promises both ruin and an irresistible, hidden warmth.
