IN WHICH... Denver is a stubborn sarcastic student failing the hardest class of her life and Rafe Cameron is the ridiculously strict and frustratingly hot Economics teacher making her life an absolute living hell (contains a lot of smut)

Before the treasure hunts and blood in the water, there was Sloane Carrington and Rafe Cameron. The golden couple of Figure Eight. She saw the boy beneath his volatility long before the island saw the danger. When the summer that changes everything begins, Sloane becomes Rafe's anchor as he spirals, until loving him starts to cost her pieces of herself. By the time the island fractures, the fault lines between them are already there. © kooksandpearls | Feb, 2026
