I don't care about your corporate boundaries, Charlotte. I claim my primary assets, and I don't negotiate my territory." Charlotte "Charlie" Schindler is the most ruthless landman in Goliad County. She survives in a man’s world by following three ironclad rules: rely on ancient property codes, trust hard data, and never, ever let an arrogant executive cross her boundary lines. When she takes on a routine job to cure an 1834 sovereign land title for a local family, she expects a simple legal fix. She never expected to spark an industrial war. Theodore Vance is a cold, brilliant billionaire tycoon who has just assumed absolute control over his family’s massive energy empire. He is an apex predator used to total corporate submission, immediate compliance, and crushing anyone foolish enough to stand in his way. When a multi-million-dollar oil strike is uncovered beneath the Goliad basin, Charlie and Theo's worlds violently collide. Forced into a hyper-charged, forced-proximity alliance to protect the asset from rival predators, Charlie intends to keep things strictly professional. But Theo has completely rewritten the terms of their contract. He doesn’t just want to monopolize the gold flowing beneath the Texas dirt. He wants absolute possession of the brilliant, unbothered woman holding the title. When a billionaire who is used to getting everything he wants marks his territory, can an independent landman hold the line? Or will the sheer pressure cause them both to hit a dangerous flashpoint? 🔥 THE TROPES INSIDE: 💼 Ruthless & Hyper-Possessive Billionaire Tycoon ⚖️ Brilliant, Unbothered, and Strong Heroine (Landman) 🏡 Small-Town Texas Grit vs. Big-City Power 🏎️ Forced Proximity & High-Stakes Corporate Espionage ✨ COMPLETE 50-CHAPTER NOVEL — NO CLIFFHANGERS AT THE END!
