Heart and Fire

He was my college crush, my biggest heartbreak, and the cocky cowboy I never forgot.

Twelve years later, he’s a smooth-talking oil tycoon, and I’m the investigative journalist exposing the secrets of his world—a collision as hot as it is explosive.

But desperation makes you reckless.

Sneaking into a gala for a story?
Necessary.

Asking Grayson Hayes to play my fake fiancé to pull it off?
Risky.

Asking him to keep up the act for my meddling parents?
Downright insane.

The plan?
Keep it strictly business.

The problem?
Grayson doesn’t do boundaries.

His heated stares leave me drenched, his possessiveness makes me ache for more, and his drawl curls around me like a promise I can’t resist.

It’s heart and fire, a connection that’s too real to ignore.

Falling for him could burn everything I’ve built… but walking away might ruin me.
