Oil & Honor

Vivienne "Viv" 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.
