When Ava Maren attends her sister's latest art gala, she expects the usual blend of champagne, polite smiles, and perfectly curated chaos. What she doesn't expect is Niki Vale-the gallery's magnetic art collector whose presence commands the room with quiet power. Their first encounter is a spark neither can ignore, a current that hums beneath every glance and every brush of skin. Niki knows better than to blur the line between business and desire. Working for Ava's sister means keeping her reputation flawless, her composure unshakable. But Ava's disarming mix of strength and vulnerability tempts her to surrender control, to explore a connection that feels both dangerous and inevitable. As their worlds collide in stolen moments and unspoken truths, passion becomes its own language-a dance of dominance and submission where neither woman leads for long. What begins as resistance turns into revelation, and each touch challenges the other to face what they've hidden most: their need to be seen, claimed, and set free. Power meets vulnerability. Control meets surrender.
And when the lines blur between art and obsession, both Ava and Niki must decide how much of themselves they're willing to risk for the masterpiece they've found in each other.
