The Price of Jealously

Victoria "Vic" Monroe is the rebellious daughter of Charleston's wealthiest family, trapped in a world of opulence, control, and power. Born into a gilded cage, Victoria fought her family's expectations at every turn, from reckless teenage behavior to a scandalous affair that led her to sever ties with her family for good. Now, with nothing but her sharp wit and cutting charm, she seeks anonymity in the Outer Banks, a far cry from her former life.

But Victoria's world is anything but quiet. At a local gala, she catches the eye of Ward Cameron, patriarch of the notorious Cameron family, and secures a job as his right-hand assistant-one that ties her to the criminal underworld she's determined to control. But the real problem lies in Rafe Cameron, Ward's dangerous, volatile son. Their first meeting sparks an explosive rivalry, laced with sexual tension, power struggles, and jealousy.

Victoria's life becomes a whirlwind of manipulation and conflict as she navigates her feelings for Rafe and her resentment for the Pogues, especially Kiara-whom she loathes for reasons she can barely admit. With a vicious tongue and a penchant for ruthless honesty, Victoria will stop at nothing to get what she wants, even if it means burning every bridge in her path.
