Insert from story "You have kind eyes." He said, holding my gaze. "You look innocent." That was on purpose. "Are you ever going to tell me your name?" He asked as he started to clean my foot. "I already did. It's Heather." "Heather." He said, keeping his voice even. "Yes, Heather Dean." He just chuckled, like he didn't believe me. "Why do I get the impression that you think I'm lying?" I asked. "Because of how you respond every time I called you that." Oh...Crap, that wasn't good. "You haven't shared your name either." I pointed out. "I'm waiting." He answered simply. "For what?" "For you to tell me the truth." He looked back up at me. "It only seems fair right?" "It would only seem fair if I was lying." He looked at me for awhile before saying, "So, you're going to stick to that story, huh? All right. Well, when you're ready to be honest, I'll share my name." He had a point but....I still needed to be careful. Yes, he had been kind but that still wasn't reason enough for me to trust him just yet.

More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.

Lyra Wyler, a Pogue with a foot in both worlds, goes on a wild adventure with her boyfriend, best friends, brother figure, and a Kook princess. What could possibly go wrong? JJ x OC I don't own/have any rights towards the characters from OBX. I only own the OCs I created.

You've lived in the Outer Banks your entire life. As a Cameron, you were raised to fit perfectly into the Kook lifestyle and were known as the "Kook Princess. You always got along with your siblings, Rafe and Sarah, even if you questioned some of the things they did. And then there's JJ Maybank, the reckless Pogue, and from the moment you two met, you couldn't stand each other. But lately you've started to realize that maybe the Pogues weren't so bad after all, especially after how much Sarah gossips to you about her boyfriend, John B... maybe the relationship between love and hate wasn't so strong after all.

Summer in the Outer Banks is supposed to be carefree, sun-soaked, and endless-but for Kiara and Rafe, it's anything but. From the very first moment they clash, sparks fly in every sense of the word: insults, fights, and relentless teasing mark their rivalry. But when danger strikes and the line between friend and foe blurs, their bickering takes on a new intensity. Forced to trust each other in high-stakes situations-from drugged parties to stormy nights and secret heists-they discover that the tension between them is more than just anger. As Kiara navigates the treacherous waters of loyalty, family, and the Pogue life, she realizes that the boy she thought she hated might just be the one she can't live without. Enemies... or something dangerously close to love?

When Teresa Peterkin moves to the Outer Banks to find answers about her aunt's murder, she crosses paths with Rafe Cameron-a volatile and troubled man with a dark reputation. Drawn to the mystery surrounding him, Teresa soon realizes there's more to Rafe than the anger and chaos he projects. As she navigates the complexities of life in the OBX, including facing her ex-boyfriend JJ and the old friendships that were shattered, Teresa's search for the truth becomes entangled with Rafe's dangerous world. Little does she know, the answers she's looking for might be closer than she ever imagined... and more devastating.

"You're so stupid" "fuck you" Despite everything he did, she couldn't seem to stay away and neither could he

"Looks like I found my lucky charm", he said, "Kiara Carrera, the half-kook wonder." It all begins at the Kook Academy, Kiara's reluctant entrance into the world she's spent her life rejecting. She's sharp-tongued, fiercely independent and doesn't play by the rules of the Kook elite. But nothing destabilizes her more than Rafe Cameron. He's chaos in human form. Dangerous, damaged, magnetic and completely off-limits. Because he's not just any Kook. He's her best friend's older brother. The same boy who once barely acknowledged her existence is now the man who watches her too closely. Whispers venom in her ear one moment and saves her the next. Their connection is anything but romantic, it's volatile. A slow descent into obsession, secrecy, and blurred lines neither of them can escape from. As years pass, lies stack, blood is spilled, and their worlds continue to unravel. What they share isn't safe. It's not soft. Some might say it's not even love. But it's the one thing they keep coming back to, again and again.

[#1 IN OBX] [#2 IN RAFECAMERON] [#10 IN RAFE] [#8 IN DREWSTARKEY] Isla Routledge was a pogue through and through, John B's twin sister and best friends with all the pogues. She had lots of issues, sure. Her life was chaotic. One thing she knew for certain though was that there was nobody on the planet she hated more than the toxic psychopath Rafe Cameron. And he hated her just as much, but Rafe can't help but feel a bit more towards her- but he's got competition. What will she do? Could she really not completely despise Rafe Cameron?
