"You're cruel to me... very cruel... leaving me like this." Cecilia Harrison, Oxford's top law student, arrives in the Outer Banks for a prestigious internship - expecting courtrooms, case files, and a quiet summer focused on her future. What she finds instead is something far more dangerous. A world of privilege and pressure. A family with secrets behind every flawless smile. And Rafe Cameron - magnetic, volatile, impossible to ignore. Caught between ambition and desire, Cecilia steps into a summer that will test her limits, challenge her beliefs, and pull her into a life she never planned for. Some people come to the Outer Banks to find themselves. Cecilia might lose herself instead. And whether the most dangerous risk of all is letting Rafe Cameron into her heart. Or letting him walk away.
