The Devil You Know

Rafe Cameron was born to destroy things.

Dalia Russo was raised never to become one of them.

The Camerons and the Russos have spent decades turning Kildare into a battlefield disguised as paradise. Luxury developments, old money, whispered threats, and generations of hatred have taught Dalia one rule:

Never trust a Cameron.

Especially not Rafe.

He's violent. Unpredictable. A man who smiles one second and loses control the next. The entire island fears him-and for good reason.

Unfortunately for Dalia, hating him is easy.

Staying away from him isn't.

Forced into each other's lives by a business deal neither of them wants, every encounter ends the same way: another argument, another bruise to their pride, another reason to despise one another.

Until hatred begins to look dangerously similar to obsession.

Because beneath Rafe Cameron's rage lives something far more terrifying than violence...

Need.

And once he decides something belongs to him, letting go has never been one of his talents.

Rafe Cameron is not rewritten into a hero. He is messy, unstable, cruel, vulnerable, and painfully human-just as he is in Outer Banks
