Prologue

                                    

                                          
Laïa was a striking beauty with long, dark curls cascading down her back, rich brown skin, and hazel eyes that shimmered like polished noisettes. Dimples graced her cheeks when she smiled, and freckles dotted her nose, giving her an air of innocence despite the storms she'd survived.
....
After years of scraping by in the Caribbean, she finally uncovered a clue about her sister Cleo's whereabouts in the Outer Banks. Determined to reunite with her family, she left behind a shadowy past, including dangerous ties to a man named Mike, and set out for the unknown.
But the Outer Banks were no safe haven. Laïa quickly became entangled in the Pogues' treasure hunt and the chaotic Cameron family drama. Her path crossed with Rafe Cameron—a dangerous man whose intensity both repelled and intrigued her. As she searched for Cleo, Laïa found herself torn between loyalty to the Pogues and an undeniable pull toward Rafe, whose struggles mirrored her own in ways she couldn't ignore.
In a world where betrayal and desire ran deep, Laïa would have to decide who to trust—and how much she was willing to risk for love and family.
