Three powerful stories. One unforgettable Texas dynasty. And a love that refuses to break.

Welcome to the Hayes empire—where money rules, enemies play dirty, and falling in love might be the most dangerous move of all.

Riley Hayes has everything: wealth, influence, and a future carved in oil. Until his father’s will forces him into a marriage of convenience with his greatest rival’s son. What starts as blackmail turns into something far more complicated as Riley and rugged rancher Jack Campbell collide in a storm of enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, and explosive secrets. Because in Texas, love isn’t just messy—it’s war.

But surviving the marriage is only the beginning.

As Riley fights to prove himself in a ruthless corporate world, buried secrets resurface—dragging him into federal investigations, family betrayal, and a past that refuses to stay buried. With a surprise child, mounting pressure, and the weight of legacy threatening to crush him, Riley and Jack must hold on through hurt/comfort, found family, and second chances… or lose everything they’ve built.

And just when life begins to settle? Texas turns up the heat.

Back on the ranch, chaos reigns—grieving hearts, meddling friends, accidental matchmaking, and a sizzling cowboy photoshoot that brings laughter, drama, and unexpected love. While Riley battles to change the oil industry from the inside, Jack fights for his ranch, his family, and the man he married. Because loyalty runs deep, but secrets run deeper—and not everyone will walk away unscathed.

Enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, billionaire x rancher, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, found family, secret child, small town meets high society, matchmaking chaos, high-stakes family drama.
