Taylor grew up in the OBX-sunburnt skin, salty hair, and a family she'd rather forget. So most nights, she crashes at her friends that turned family. The Kooks and Pogues. Labels aren't a thing in their groups friendship. This summer was supposed to be just like the others: wild parties, adventures, too much booze, and even more bad decisions. But between the chaos, the chemistry, and the tension that's been building for way too long with both JJ and Rafe... things are about to get complicated. Lines will be crossed. Friendships tested. Hearts broken. The only question is: Who will Taylor do? Oops. I mean what will Taylor do? Or will she lose herself trying to love them both? A messy, addictive, steamy love triangle set in the Outer Banks. ⚠️WARNING: Mature content, smut, drug use. Etc. *started updating and revising as of 8/7/25*

Nora Mendoza llega a Outer Banks desde España con una vida que muchos matarían por tener: dinero, poder y un apellido que lo abre todo. Hija del dueño de la mayor empresa de barcos mercantes del mundo, lo último que debería hacer es mezclarse con los Pogues. Pero lo hace. Seis meses antes de que el Royal Merchant cambie sus vidas para siempre, Nora deja atrás el mundo de los Kooks y se convierte en una más. Una Pogues con dinero. Una contradicción. Una tentación. Entre fiestas, risas y un verano que parece eterno, Nora encuentra algo que nunca había tenido: libertad... y personas por las que vale la pena quedarse. Pero cuando el misterio del Royal Merchant sale a la superficie, los secretos empiezan a hacer lo mismo. Y Nora guarda uno que podría cambiarlo todo. Porque en Outer Banks, el problema nunca es el tesoro... sino quién está dispuesto a traicionar para encontrarlo.

she's a kook princess, his ex-best friend he hates her with his whole heart or that's what he keeps saying at least Elisa and JJ used to be like twins, they did everything together, he taught her to break the rules, she was his voice of reason. However, in the 7th grade he stopped talking to her overnight. She still doesn't know why...

In a world where everything comes in threes, the third time has to be the charm. For the Pogues, it might be their last chance at bringing the treasure on home. Parker Kate Routledge has spent the past year believing her father is dead. So, when he shows up alive and well in Barbados, Parker is thrown for a loop. Adjusting to a familiar yet foreign reality, Parker is haunted by her past. So, when Big John proposes another treasure hunt, Parker throws herself into the chase, no matter what it might cost. JJ Maybank doesn't have much. He doesn't have a house. He doesn't have a job. But he does have Parker. More in love than he's ever been, JJ's content watching his girlfriend reconnect with her family. After all, the cross is still out there, and JJ is determined to take it back. But as the hunt grows more dangerous and JJ's actions more reckless, JJ realizes he can only channel his inner "03' Bonnie & Clyde" for so long. Something - or someone - has gotten it in Parker's head that JJ is better off without her. And if there is one thing JJ is certain: he is not better off without Parker. Two separate treasures lead them two separate ways, and by the time their paths collide, it may already be too late. Parker and JJ have to determine what they're willing to fight for, what they're willing to let someone take, and what true treasure really is.

Five rules. Six weeks. Seven teens all trapped together on an island. After a disastrous trip on the Coastal Venture, the Pogues find themselves marooned on an unknown island with no way to call home. At first, survival is simple. John B outlines five rules to keep them alive. They carve weapons, find fresh water, and hunt for food. The Pogues are ready for whatever the island may throw at them. Except the island isn't the problem. They are. When there is nothing to do and nowhere to go, the spiral starts, and it doesn't stop. JJ gets high off a mushroom he definitely shouldn't have eaten. Parker Kate and Cleo form a friendship over increasingly dangerous booby traps. And Pope's convinced he's Caesar Flickerman. What started as a way to keep their heads above water slowly morphs into uncontrolled chaos until one day, the Pogues are too distracted to notice their ticket home. The fun and games are over. The Pogues have to make a choice: find a way to live on this island without destroying everything in their path or never make it back home.

After everything-the gold, the cross, the running, the drugs-the Pogues end up on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. Poguelandia isn't just a hiding place; it's a fresh start. No Kooks. No treasure hunts. No one chasing them down or tearing them apart. Just sun soaked days, salt air, and the kind of freedom they've spent their whole lives fighting for. With a new member, Cleo Anderson, their found family feels stronger than ever. Out there, it's just them attempting to figure out how to live when survival isn't the only thing driving them. But peace like this doesn't last forever. Because even in paradise, the past has a way of catching up-and the moment they're found, everything they've built on that island is at risk of slipping through their fingers. They may not have the gold. They may not have the cross. But they have each other. And for the Pogues... that's always been worth more than any treasure.
