"You can love someone your whole life and still never be the person they choose."
Mara Callahan has always been a Pogue.
Raised by her sick single mother and surrounded by the only family she's ever known-John B, Pope, Kiara, and JJ Maybank-she's spent her life working, studying, and doing whatever it takes to keep her family afloat.
She's reckless. Stubborn. Fiercely loyal.
And she's been in love with JJ for as long as she can remember.
The problem?
JJ only sees her as his best friend.
Then a hurricane washes a mysterious boat into the marsh, a compass belonging to John B's missing father is found, and the Pogues stumble into a secret that could change everything.
Between dangerous enemies, buried secrets, and a summer that was supposed to be about having a good time, Mara is about to discover that some things are impossible to outrun.
Especially the truth.
And especially JJ Maybank.
