Love, Almost (1/5)

(Will not follow the OBX storyline YET--next book will. however)

FIGURE EIGHT, OBX. A place that's brought people together and tangled them up just as easily. The birthplace of two rich kids thrown together by an unexpected pregnancy. The spot where they lived, died, and where I (small, stubborn) spent my childhood running through the backyard with my dad. But Figure Eight wasn't just warm sand and memories; it's also where I met Rafe Cameron, with his crooked grin and a family that was just chaotic enough to make you wonder what "perfect" even means. And me? I was stuck somewhere in the middle-drawn to him but wary of all the chaos he carried, painfully aware that maybe I didn't really belong in a world that seemed hell-bent on writing my story without asking me first.
