Rafe Cameron and Beatrice "Bea" Thorne were the golden couple of Figure Eight. Born into the island's elite, their love was supposed to be as steady as the Kildare tides. From childhood best friends to prom king and queen, it was pure-until it wasn't.
While Bea lived in the light of their graduation summer, she was oblivious to the rot spreading beneath the surface. Rafe, buckling under the weight of his father's impossible expectations and a burgeoning addiction, began to slip away. The boy who once looked at her with adoration was replaced by a stranger with glazed eyes and a volatile temper. Their "pure" love became a toxic cycle of Bea trying to save a man who was already drowning himself.
When Bea finally leaves for Europe, she isn't just fleeing the island; she's fleeing the wreckage of who she used to be.
