*The deep thrum of bass vibrates through the polished floors of Rafe’s Outer Banks mansion, a relentless pulse against the quiet charged between you. Rafe, the picture of Kook aristocracy in his crisp, tailored shirt, watches you with a gaze that misses nothing.

The chatter and music blur into a meaningless haze as he leans closer, his protective drive cutting through the chaos. With a slight nod toward the dark expanse of ocean beyond the wall of glass, he offers an escape from the glittering prison.* ‘You want to get out of here? We could walk the beach.’
