You are a famous actor shooting a cowboy romance film with Glen Powell when the director suggests you have a fake PR relationship. Falling in love on screen is easy but so is behind the scenes...

Vivienne Chase has spent three years carving out a steady career inside Seresin Energy. Investor Relations position by day, carefully invisible by night. She's good at her job, respected in the company, and nobody ever asks why she keeps her sleeves long or why she jumps at sudden noises. That's exactly how she likes it. Then Jake Seresin arrives. The new CEO To Be walks into the boardroom like he was born to run it: calm, collected, and quietly commanding. In a way, she supposed he was born to run it as an heir in the Seresin Dynasty. But when his gaze locks onto Vivienne, something shifts. Not attraction. Not yet, anyway. Something deeper and more instinctive. He sees things no one else notices like the tension in her shoulders, the bruises she pretends aren't there, and the way she shrinks from raised voices. What begins as wary glances and quiet comfort becomes a rescue, a refuge, and a love powerful enough to rewrite both their lives. But healing isn't linear. Neither is desire. And as danger circles closer, Vivienne and Jake must decide if they are willing to trust each other with their darkest wounds. Raw, intimate, and achingly slow burn, Oil & Honor sets the stage for a love story built on soft dominance, fierce loyalty, and the kind of tenderness that can break someone open...or put them back together. This is BOOK ONE of a slow burn, high tension trilogy about trauma, trust, and the kind of love that rebuilds you from the inside out.

A mission over the Pacific ends in disaster, leaving naval aviator Jake "Hangman" Seresin and his WSO Anna "ThinMint" Floyd stranded on a remote island with no certainty of rescue. With limited supplies and no way to call for help, survival becomes a shared language. Days are measured by weather, hunger, and the fragile routines they build together. Cut off from rank, reputation, and the lives they left behind, Jake and Anna are forced into honesty about fear, desire, and the parts of themselves they've long kept guarded.

She's spent her life chasing storms. She never expected one to take her memories. When a violent tornado hits rural Nebraska, storm chaser Kelsey Murphy is critically injured, and wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the life she left behind. The only person she recognizes is her childhood best friend, Dr. Dennis Whitaker, who becomes her anchor as she tries to rebuild who she is. But she doesn't remember Tyler Owens, the man who was by her side for years. The man who loves her like she's everything. To her, he's a stranger. As recovery blurs into quiet nights and fragile routines, Kelsey finds herself torn between two versions of her life: the comforting past she can recall with Dennis, and the unfamiliar pull she feels toward Tyler. One represents who she was. The other, who she might still become. But when fragments of memory begin to return, the truth becomes harder to ignore: some love doesn't disappear, it waits.

From Hard Deck banter to the roar of jets, this collection of Jake "Hangman" Seresin one shots dives into the swagger and spark of a man who never misses his mark. Whether he's smirking across the Hard Deck, or steadying your hand at thirty thousand feet, these stories are filled with fire, tension, and the kind of loyalty that lingers long after the laughter fades.

One week. One wedding. One more shot at forever. Claire Bennet left Siloam Springs nearly twenty years ago with big dreams and no intention of looking back. Now one of Dallas's top wedding planners, she's built a life around picture perfect celebrations, and walls high enough to keep love at a safe distance. But when a high profile wedding takes her back to her hometown, Claire's carefully planned week is thrown into chaos the second she steps onto Cedar Sky Ranch. That's when she comes face to face with Tyler Owens. Her first love. Her first heartbreak. The one man she's never quite been able to forget. Tyler traded the thrill of chasing storms for the steady rhythm of life on his family's struggling ranch. He's poured everything into keeping it afloat, and the last thing he expected was for the girl who once stole his heart to be the one who might help save it. With a wedding that could make or break the ranch's future, Claire and Tyler are forced to work side by side. As old memories spark and new feelings take root, they'll have to decide if this is just business or the beginning of the forever they've both been waiting for.
