Kinslee Maybank didn't leave the Outer Banks for adventure-she left to survive. After high school, she headed for the mainland with nothing but a notebook, a stubborn streak, and the need to be more than where she came from. Writing turned into reporting, and reporting turned into a job that finally felt like a way out. Until it wasn't. One investigation led her somewhere she was never meant to go. A cold trail. A wrong name. A murder no one wanted reopened. When the pieces finally came together, so did the threats. Anonymous calls. Footsteps behind her at night. The sick certainty that someone was watching her-and enjoying the fear she couldn't shake. Terrified and running out of places to hide, Kinslee fled back to the only place that ever taught her how to endure. The Outer Banks. Back to salt air and old scars. Back to her brother, JJ Maybank, crashing on his couch with her old friends and trying to make a living in her old town. But what happens when her return doesn't go unnoticed? Word travels fast in the Outer Banks, and it doesn't take long before her name reaches the one person she never thought she'd see again. Rafe Cameron doesn't just hear that Kinslee is back-he hears why. Whispers about a murder investigation gone wrong. A stalker. A man who was still free and after her. And that's when Rafe starts paying attention. And once his attention locks onto Kinslee, the line between protection and possession begins to blur. Because if someone thinks they can touch what once belonged to him, and still does Rafe takes it personally. The past doesn't stay buried when it's soaked in unfinished business, and Rafe doesn't believe in coincidence. He inserts himself into her life under the guise of protection-offering resources, connections, solutions no one else can provide. Where love isn't soft, choices have consequences, and falling for the wrong person might cost you everything-but leaving him could cost you more.

Alaia Sinclair was Rafe Cameron's girl--the only light in a life drowning in his father's expectations and his own self-destruction. For three years, she tried to save him, but you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. So, she left. Now, years later, Alaia returns to the Outer Banks as the CEO of her late father's company. She is powerful, polished, and determined to keep her past exactly where it belongs. But Rafe isn't the same broken boy she left behind. He's gotten clean, taken control of his life, and has become the man she always believed he could be. And he's been waiting for her. What starts as unfinished business becomes something far more dangerous when a collision of old wounds and new desire, of the people they were and the people they've become. Rafe swears he won't make the same mistake twice, but Alaia Sinclair has always been his addiction, and some things run too deep to ever truly break. A dark romance about second chances, old wounds, and the fine line between devotion and obsession.

In Figure Eight, power comes with rules. And the Blakes never break them. Halston Blake was raised on loyalty and legacy. She speaks when it's safe, smiles when it's expected, and never - ever - crosses to the other side of the island. The Blakes were raised to hate all Pogues. Especially boys like JJ Maybank - impulsive, unrefined, dangerous. But JJ doesn't care who she is. Doesn't care what her last name means. And that's what makes him so dangerous. To her. To her family. To everything she was raised to protect. Because once you touch fire, you don't walk away unburned. Follows the events of Outer Banks Seasons 1-4 with a sharper queen, a slower fall, and a few twists.

With a threat growing in the shadows, Lieutenant Drew "Daisy" Farrell is sought out for TF141, an elite squad of soldiers trained to deal with the world's most serious threats. The transition onto the team goes smoothly, except for the animosity between her and her fellow task force Lieutenant. Despite the anger between them, Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley --the grumpy-ass, arrogant, rude, frustrating, control freak of a man-- manages to distract her with his coffee-colored eyes and sinful touches, leaving her cursing him in more ways than one. But as the target terrorist organization avoids their grasp, he shows her exactly what she can have if she simply listens. ⁂ For anyone else who is feral over Simon Riley and enemies to lovers, this is for you ;) This story contains a lot of smutty chapters, however, there is still plenty of plot to go along with it. Chapters will be noted if they have smut... in case you're curious... This story does NOT follow the video games, ie. Soap's not dead <3 CW: cannon level violence, swearing, explicit sex, threats and inuendoes referring to SA *Warnings will be posted at the top of chapters. Excerpt: He turned to her then, stepping close enough that he brushed against her knees. "Is it possible for you to keep your mouth shut?" he asked lowly. "What? Am I getting on your nerves?" His eyes narrowed at her. "You're gettin' close to an ass-chewing." "Can't handle a little banter, sir?" "You're insubordinate." "And you're sensitive." He let out a frustrated growl. It only served to encourage her. "You wanna take that thing off? It's hard to tell how you're feeling without seeing your face." A very obvious lie, especially when his eyes showed her everything she needed to know. He was pissed.
