Summary
After your father’s unexpected death, he leaves behind a legacy you never asked for: Frontier Basin Oil & Gas—and all the enemies that come with it. Chief among them is Joel Miller, the weathered, calculating head of Miller Dominion, a Texas oil empire built on grit, silence, and the kind of power that doesn’t need announcing.
Once your father’s protégé, Joel hasn’t forgiven a betrayal that cut too deep—and he sure as hell doesn’t trust the daughter now sitting in the seat Dean left behind.
Thrown into a world of backroom deals, rusted rigs, and old money politics, you’re forced to go head-to-head with a man who makes it clear you don’t belong on his turf. But the line between rivalry and something else has always been thinner than it should be—and neither of you are doing a very good job staying on the right side of it.
The tension is constant. The stakes, personal. And under the weight of grief, legacy, and bad history, something combustible begins to take shape.
Oil runs thick in the soil out here. So does resentment. And desire has a way of surfacing when the pressure’s high enough.
