The Scion's Secret Scheme
By @john1208
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Elara Vance, saving her family’s legacy – a struggling independent publishing house – means swallowing her pride and taking a job as the personal assistant to the man who orchestrated their near-ruin. Meet Asher Thorne, the ice-cold scion of the media empire that looms like a titan over her dwindling world. Every interaction with him is a clash of wills, a battle fought with barbed words and searing glances, yet she finds herself undeniably drawn to the dangerous charisma that radiates from him. She needs his resources, his influence, but he needs something from her too – a debt to be repaid, a pawn in his own elaborate scheme. With her family’s fate hanging by a thread and her younger sister’s medical bills piling up, Elara must navigate the treacherous waters of his opulent world, battling her growing desire while secretly plotting her revenge. If she fails, her family's heritage will crumble to dust, and her sister's future will be lost. The stakes are too high to yield, but his touch, his voice, threatens to unravel her carefully constructed resistance.

His Glacial Command
By @john1208
Elara Vance, an architectural preservationist, lives and breathes the history etched into crumbling facades. Her family's renowned heritage firm teeters on the brink of collapse, their final hope resting on a prestigious restoration project. But the client is Alistair Thorne, the formidable CEO whose empire thrives on tearing down the old to build the new, seeing no value in sentiment, only profit. He sees her passion as weakness, her ideals as antiquated. Yet, he offers her a chilling deal: join his team, supervise his vision, and save her firm, or watch him systematically dismantle everything she holds dear. Trapped between an ice wall and a hard place, Elara battles Alistair in boardrooms and across blueprints, each clash sparking a dangerous, undeniable heat. She risks losing her family’s legacy, her very integrity, and possibly her heart to the man who embodies everything she despises. His presence is a cold, sharp scent in the air, his gaze an icy challenge that makes her breath catch, even as a forbidden tremor runs through her, pulling her into his unforgiving orbit. The silk of her resolve threatens to fray with every shared glance.
