After losing her mother, stepfather, and little sister in a car accident, eighteen-year-old Eleanor "Nelly" Lakeson is shipped off to Kildare to live with her Kook aunt who believes rules and routine can cure grief. But Nelly carries a darkness no one in Kildare could ever imagine-a past twisted with secrets, fear, and the things she endured throughout her childhood to protect her little sister. No one knew what she survived. No one ever will.. College is a disaster, friendships have withered, and drugs are the only thing keeping the memories quiet. Nelly has always been drawn to boys with cracks, boys who are as haunted as she is. Which is why Rafe Cameron terrifies her. He's everything she should avoid: arrogant, privileged, infuriating. But behind his perfect façade is something fractured, something bruised, something she recognizes in herself. And he sees her darkness too-like he's been waiting for someone just as wrecked. What starts as tension turns into a connection too intense to deny. Late-night whispers turn into shared demons, shared addictions, shared hunger for something that feels almost like love... or the closest thing two broken souls can manage. And as Nelly slips deeper, she drags Rafe with her-into her addictions, her trauma, her storm. Together they spiral into something raw, toxic, consuming... a love that feels like both a fatal mistake and the only thing keeping them alive. This wasn't healing... This was falling... Beautiful, deadly, and completely unstoppable... #1 RafeCameronobx 12/3/26 #1 Druguse 13/3/26 #1 p4l 8/4/26 ---- This story is based off Characters from Outerbanks.
