His Aura, Her Price
By @john1208
Elara Thorne’s world is a symphony of colors – the vibrant hues of human auras that reveal hidden truths. But her unique gift can't pay the mounting bills to save her family's ancient, enchanted manor, now threatened by a ruthless corporate takeover. Desperate, she finds herself entangled with Alaric Vance, the CEO whose reputation is as icy as his dark suits. He scoffs at her "supernatural nonsense," yet his multi-billion-dollar tech empire teeters on a crucial deal, and Elara's uncanny ability to 'read' the intentions of his rivals proves terrifyingly effective. Alaric demands she "tune" his own formidable aura, a cold, steel-grey fortress, making him palatable to adversaries without revealing his true, predatory brilliance. Every touch, every shared breath near him sends an electric current through her, igniting a dangerous fascination. If she fails, her ancestral home is lost forever, and worse, her vibrant spirit risks being absorbed into the chilling void of his ambition. Can Elara illuminate the darkness within Alaric, or will his shadows extinguish her light completely?
