"We shouldn't be doing this Rafe," I breathed out, his hands roaming around my body, "My brother is right downstairs." "I guess you'd have to be quiet then." 𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝐒𝐭. 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫. His best friend's sister. 𝐑𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐧. Her brother's best friend. One who sought alcohol for comfort. One who sought drugs for an escape. The idea of the two even being in the same vicinity as each other was enough to make them disgusted. Plus, Elliot fought against the idea of his best friend sharing a bed with his little sister. But we all know what occurs during a forbidden relationship.

They say opposites attract. But Kylie and Rafe? They're two versions of the same wreckage. She numbs the chaos with sharp jokes and small pills. He hides behind silence, violence, and a name no one dares whisper twice. She wants out - out of this town, out of the lies, out of herself. But the Pogues pull her back in. And so does he. Every. Damn. Time.

This is the second part of my "Far From Home" series. Part one is on my account. "You're cruel to me... very cruel... leaving me like this." Cecilia Harrison came to the Outer Banks for one reason: her future. An elite internship. A perfect résumé. A straight path back to Oxford. Love was never part of the plan. Then she meets Rafe Cameron. Dangerous. Broken. Impossible to stay away from. The deeper Cecilia is pulled into his world, the harder it becomes to separate truth from lies, love from obsession, and protection from control. What starts as attraction quickly turns into something far more complicated. Because Rafe Cameron isn't just a risk. He's a storm. And by the time Cecilia realizes how dangerous he truly is- it might already be too late. Some people come to the Outer Banks to find themselves. Cecilia might lose everything instead.
