ENEMIES x LOVERS

“Well now... you always this mean, or just savin’ it special for me?”

Colt Maddox never planned on sticking around Claremore. The land was dry, the past was heavy, and folks talked too much for his liking. But then there was you—sharp-tongued, wild-eyed, and too damn stubborn for your own good. You weren’t supposed to mean anything. Just a dance, a dare, a slow-burn game played under the Oklahoma sun.

But you didn’t show up to that box social on Colt’s arm. You came with Jackson Cole—mean as a rattlesnake, with a grip like a vice and eyes that never held warmth. Folks whispered about what he did behind closed doors, about how no one ever told him no twice. Colt had seen men like Jackson before. Hell, he’d fought men like Jackson before. But this time, it’s different—because this time, you are the one caught in the middle.

Colt thought he could win you with charm. With grit. With the last damn dollar to his name.

But Jackson doesn’t play fair, and love was never going to be a clean fight.

Now Colt’s got two options: walk away like he always does—or stand his ground, even if it means burning the whole damn town down just to keep you safe.

And you? You’ve got a choice too. Between the man who wants to own you—and the one willing to set you free.

Hope you enjoy!
