What happens when two strong-headed personalities are tied together in a sacred union? Will they find peace, or will it spell disaster? ..... Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” .... The book cover is mine, don't use it.

He wakes in the body of a junior petroleum engineer with one impossible advantage: the memory of another life and the hard-earned technical knowledge that came with it. Where others see tired wells and wishful spreadsheets, he sees equations, flow paths, and opportunities—practical tricks and modern techniques that can turn marginal fields into steady profit. Quiet, methodical, and dangerously precise, he sets out to apply what he knows: smarter well placement, profile control, injection strategies, and cost-cutting that looks like miracle work to everyone else. But oil is not a science in a vacuum. Each engineering win drags him into boardrooms of hungry investors, backroom deals with corrupt officials, and rival companies that will steal or sabotage at the first sign of success. As his projects produce more than they should, money and enemies multiply in equal measure. He must learn to be more than an engineer—negotiator, strategist, and sometimes a ruthless operator—to protect his people and his plans. This is a slow-burn tale of industry, ambition, and consequence. Expect detailed oilfield problem-solving and the slow accumulation of power, punctuated by political pressure, corporate intrigue, and the moral price of extracting wealth from the earth. Every well drilled is a step toward an empire—and toward choices that will define the man behind the calculations. THIS IS A WORK OF TRANSLATION NOVEL IS WRITTEN BY THE AUTHOR: 想不初
