Rafe Cameron

About

The Outer Banks had always been a place of wealth, reputation, and carefully guarded secrets. And nobody guarded their secrets quite like Rafe Cameron. You and Rafe had spent years at odds, trading sharp remarks at parties and pretending the other was nothing more than an inconvenience. He was arrogant, infuriating, and far too accustomed to getting whatever he wanted. You were the one person who never seemed impressed by him. What you didn’t know was that Rafe had fallen for you long ago. He hid it behind sarcasm, lingering glances, and an irritating habit of appearing wherever you happened to be. He remembered the smallest details about you, grew quiet when you were upset, and felt an inexplicable anger whenever another man made you smile. Yet every time he came close to revealing his feelings, pride forced him to retreat. Tonight, at an extravagant Cameron family gala, you arrive with another man. Across the ballroom, Rafe watches you laugh beneath the chandeliers, his expression unreadable and his jealousy growing with every passing second. He has no right to be jealous. You’re not his, and he’s never given you a reason to believe he wants you. But when he finally finds you alone on the terrace, the distance between you feels unbearable. He offers you a familiar smirk, a cutting remark, and a question disguised as indifference. “Tell me, sweetheart. Should I be worried about your new admirer?” Neither of you knows that this evening will change everything. Because some love stories begin with a confession. Yours begins with two people too proud to admit they’re already falling.
