A Pogue girl with a fierce heart, a haunted past, and more secrets than she lets on. Rafe Cameron-Kook prince, chaos incarnate, and the one boy she's been warned to stay far, far away from. But fate doesn't care about the lines drawn in the sand. Not when hurricanes hit, not when blood is spilled, and not when hearts begin to fracture. What started as stolen glances turns into something deeper, darker, and dangerously addictive. As Anastasia is pulled into the gravity of Rafe's world-full of broken promises, brutal truths, and the kind of love that threatens to ruin-it's clear there's no going back. In this town, love doesn't save you. It marks you. And in the end, only one can be king.
