In which a black debutant falls for the rebel surfer She was born into silk gloves, pressed manners, and a last name that opened every locked door in the country. Olandria Carthen came from old money, the kind built from black excellence; she was raised to smile softly, speak less, and never-ever-step outside the lines drawn for her. Her life was crystal chandeliers, charity galas, and expectations heavy enough to drown in. Perfect. Polished. Untouchable. At least, that's what everyone thought. He was born into money too-but Nicolas vansteenberghe never cared for any of it. A surfer boy with reckless laughter, sunburnt skin, and a habit of running from anything that tried to own him. The kind of boy who chooses saltwater over silver spoons, chaos over control, and freedom over legacy. They weren't supposed to meet. And they definitely weren't supposed to understand each other. But the Outer Banks has a way of pulling opposites into the same tide. She's reserved, careful, and taught that love is something you calculate-not fall into. He's loud, fearless, and lives like every wave might be his last. One follows every rule she was given. The other breaks every rule just to feel alive. And somehow... they keep finding each other in the space between their worlds. Because in a place where status divides everything and the ocean keeps secrets, love might be the most dangerous rebellion of all.

✨Revenge is a dish best served silently. Machelle Richards has a beautiful home, a thriving career as a therapist, and a husband she's loved since she was sixteen. Until the night of their Valentine's Day party, when she catches him in the laundry room with their neighbor. In the shattering aftermath of his betrayal, Machelle makes a chilling choice: she doesn't confront him. Instead, she smiles, plays the part of the devoted, oblivious wife, and secretly hires a shark of a divorce lawyer to systematically dismantle his life. But carrying out her calculated exit strategy becomes a psychological torment when Brian, sensing a distance he can't quite pinpoint, suddenly transforms back into the perfect, attentive husband she always wanted. Completely unaware of the executioner's blade dangling above his neck, Brian fights to save their marriage with grand romantic gestures and vows of absolute devotion. As the lines between her cold-blooded performance and her lingering, heartbreaking love begin to blur, Machelle finds herself trapped in a devastating game of cat and mouse. Can she truly destroy the only man she's ever loved, or will the explosive secrets buried in their affluent neighborhood destroy them both first?✨

He didn't move. Couldn't. Sunlight traced the waterline across her stomach, highlighting the dip of her navel. The thong clung low, revealing the taut curve of her lower back. Droplets shimmered like gold. Desire hit him like a blow-raw, inconvenient. He imagined peeling that scrap of fabric aside with his teeth, tasting saltwater on her inner thigh. His pulse hammered. "Get out," he ordered, voice rough. Jade opened one eye. "Or what? You'll drag me?" Matteo stepped onto the submerged ledge, dress shoes sinking into wet tile. "Try me."
