UNDER REVISION AND EDITING!! PARTS WILL RETURN TO NORMAL SOON!! In the dust and diesel of a remote West Texas oil rig, Jacob is as rough and unshakable as the steel he welds-focused, guarded, and built from years of hard living. Kam Breene, a sharp, by-the-book safety inspector with a no-nonsense attitude, is everything Jacob isn't... and exactly what he can't seem to ignore. As the line between professionalism and desire begins to blur, their secret connection threatens to unravel everything; A storm of betrayal, workplace politics, and secrets from the past threaten to tear them apart. In a world where love can feel as dangerous as the job they work, Jacob and Kam must decide what they're willing to risk-and what they can't afford to lose. West of Reckless is a raw and emotional Texas romance about the fires that forge love, the pain that shapes it, and the recklessness of holding on when the world says let go.

Colt Hollis is reckless, grieving, and spiraling. Drowning his past in alcohol and apathy, he's convinced he's beyond saving-until a class project pairs him with Maisie Whitlock, a passionate student with stars in her eyes and a future as bright as her ambition. Maisie thought she had her life figured out, a clear academic path, and no time for heartbreak. But one accidental connection with Colt leads to late-night study sessions, laughter between the pain, and a slow unraveling of everything she thought she wanted. As secrets, betrayals, and heartache test them, Colt and Maisie must navigate a messy, magnetic love that could destroy them-or set them free.
