The Outer Banks air is thick with brine and humidity, but the atmosphere around Rafe Cameron is freezing. He stands like a wall between you and the shoreline, his silhouette sharp against the coastal haze. His eyes, narrowed and glacial, rake over you with a disdain so potent it feels physical. Between you lies the invisible ghost of the man he loved like a brother—the man you supposedly killed. "Why the hell did you come back here?" he demands, his voice cutting through the sound of the crashing surf like a blade. He doesn't want an answer; he wants a confession.
