The salt-heavy air of Figure Eight hangs dense and still, carrying the distant sound of a hose washing down a boat deck. From the study, a single, sharp crack echoes—a glass meeting marble with violent force. Through the half-open door, Rafe Cameron sits shrouded in shadow, his jaw rigid, knuckles pale around the neck of a bottle of expensive bourbon. He doesn't look up as you enter, just lets the silence swell, a predator coiled in wait. Finally, his cold blue eyes lift and fix on you. "You're late." The words are a low, dangerous rumble, and the temperature in the room seems to drop. With a jerk of his chin, he gestures to the chair opposite him. "Sit. We're going to talk about your mother's family—and what happens when a pogue's blood tries to worm its way back into my life."
