Fire & Oil : Burn Our Ties
In a city carved by power and paid for in blood, Abigail Scott inherits a criminal empire the moment her father is murdered. With cold ambition and sharper instincts, she steps into the chaos of his legacy-surrounded by enemies, ghosts, and men who would rather see her buried than crowned. At her side are Elias, her father's relentless right hand, and his son Dieho, her childhood companion now sworn to protect her-even from herself. But when Abigail's search for the truth leads her into the den of the Lockwoods, the family her own has warred with for decades, she comes face to face with Hunter Lockwood-the rival heir with eyes like secrets and a voice that cuts like sin. Their meeting is meant to be bloodshed. Instead, it ignites something far more dangerous. Their alliance is born in shadows, fed by shared vengeance, and bound by lust they pretend not to crave. He is the enemy, the mirror, the forbidden answer to everything she's sworn to destroy. But in the smoke of backroom deals and midnight confessions, their connection burns-twisting love into leverage, desire into distraction. As they dig into the truth behind their families' pasts, the line between betrayal and obsession blurs. And when Abigail learns what really happened the night her father died, she'll have to decide whether Hunter is the key to her empire-or the weapon that ends it. Power is seductive. Love is a threat. And in this world, no one survives without blood on their hands.
