Outer Banks: a paradise for some, a battleground for others.
AJ didn't come to the Outer Banks for the beaches or the easy life. She came to disappear-to outrun the ghosts of her past and build something, anything, on the ruins she left behind. But paradise has shadows, and she steps right into one of them: Barry.
Barry doesn't ask questions. He gives AJ a job, a purpose, a way in. His drug operation is ruthless, but AJ knows how to survive in a world like his. What she doesn't know how to survive is Rafe Cameron. Dangerous, unpredictable, and infuriatingly magnetic, Barry's right-hand man is as much a threat to AJ as the world they're in.
Their hatred crackles with fire, but fire has a way of consuming everything. The closer AJ gets to Rafe, the harder it becomes to untangle the desire from the danger. And as their connection deepens, so do the cracks in the life AJ has fought to rebuild-because secrets don't stay buried in the OBX, and AJ has plenty of them.
When her past resurfaces, threatening everything and everyone she's come to care about, AJ has to make an impossible choice: trust the man who could ruin her, or risk losing it all.
Love. Betrayal. Chaos. In the Outer Banks, paradise is just the beginning of the storm.
