Just Colleagues

Briar Mordine has always dreamed of making her mark in the professional world, and her internship with the wealthy and influential Ward Cameron on the Outer Banks seems like the perfect opportunity. With her sights set on securing a permanent position, Briar is determined to keep things strictly professional. But fate has other plans.

Just a month before she is set to begin her internship, Briar meets Rafe Cameron, the charming yet enigmatic son of her future boss. The attraction between them is immediate and undeniable, yet both are wary of letting their hearts lead them astray. Briar knows that a relationship with Rafe could jeopardize her career ambitions, while Rafe is haunted by the fears of his failed relationships and reluctance to open up again.

As the summer progresses, Briar and Rafe find themselves drawn to each other in ways they can't resist. Despite their best efforts to remain distant, their days on the island make it impossible to ignore the connection between them. Every glance, every touch, and every shared secret brings them closer, challenging their resolve to stay apart.

Can Briar maintain her professional demeanor and secure the future she's worked so hard for? Will Rafe overcome his fears and let himself fall for the girl who might just be his perfect match? In the OBX, two college students will discover whether love really is the answer.
