Such C*NTS - Rafe Cameron

Makalah Kennedy has already survived one kind of war.

At Hartley High, she was known for her Nike TNs, her sharp mouth, and the older boyfriend no one dared question. Chook made her feel powerful - until she learned the truth about Harper and realised she'd been standing beside a monster. The fights stopped being just fights. Until loving Chook felt like surviving him.

The move to the Outer Banks was supposed to be a reset. New look. New rules. New girl.

But being labelled a "pogue". And falling for Rafe Cameron? That's just asking for trouble.

Rafe isn't like Chook. He's worse in some ways - colder, smarter, harder to read. Their hatred simmers into something slow, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.

And when Chook shows up in town - connected to Barry and suddenly glued to Rafe's side - Makalah's past collides with her present.

Because Chook didn't lose her.

And this time, the boys she used to survive might destroy each other trying to own her.
