IN WHICH the Carrera family home becomes a battlefield for the war between the Kooks and the Pogue. Although Riley Carrera believed she belonged alongside the Kooks, and Kiara Carrera didn't trust anyone besides the Pogues, one summer would change everything the twins had once thought they understood. It was the summer that began with Hurricane Agatha.

Allison Dumphrey had always been an abnormally smart person. She was rich, kind, pretty. The perfect kook. Then, she met Kiara Carerra in 9th grade and her world flipped upside down. Welcome to pogue life baby.

Promises? Broken. Laws? Broken. Rules against macking a fellow Pogue? Somehow not broken. The only thing Parker Kate Routledge loves more than pushing boundaries is pushing her twin brother's buttons. And what better way than to flirt with his dangerously sexy and completely off-limits best friend? She's read enough dirty books to know what to say. What she doesn't know is how JJ always has the perfect response capable of toying with her mind. Nine years ago, JJ Maybank promised to stay away from his best friend's twin sister. And for good reason. Parker is more than gorgeous; she is incredibly smart and witty, while JJ is -- not. As much as JJ tells himself to stay away, he cannot help but turn into a shameless flirt whenever she enters a room. Parker might like that it drives John B mad, but JJ likes that it turns her cheeks pink. As the friend group's summer takes a crazy turn, Parker and JJ find themselves doing more than pretending to break the rules. The two are then left wondering what's real, what's fake, and how fast John B would kill them if they ended up together.

BOOK 1 My name is Cassidy Reed. And live a few blocks away from John B so we mostly see each other. An old fish shack on the marsh. I live with my dad who isn't even around most of the time and when he is he's usually wasted on the couch or yelling at me. It's been 10 years since my mother walked out the door leaving me with my father who used to be a great dad but now I don't even know him. He started to drink right after my mom left and blamed me for it saying that I'm the reason she left, I'm useless, and all that type of shit. And not going to lie he scares me when he's drunk, so I lock myself in my room but that doesn't keep him from coming in. He's like those type of dad how do you call it... oh yeah, an abusive dad. He doesn't like me hanging out with the boys and Kie but I don't listen and when I don't it goes all wrong and I end up locking myself in the bathroom and crying. So my life is miserable and sometimes I think how will it be if I'm just gone for good and never come back to my dad or the house I live in that I can't even call a safe place because it isn't safe. The only place safe is when I'm with my friends that's what I call home. That's my life isn't it great? It's full of butterflies and unicorns. It's amazing. ( Gosh, I'm so done. ) And that's where this story starts. An abusive dad ( daddy issues ), no mother ( mommy issues ), and the fact that ( I forgot to tell you ) I get bullied at school, why? No idea. That's my story the life as a Pogue." [ Started : February, 24, 2023 Ended : ? ] JJ MayBank x Oc ( best friend ⇢ lovers ) Outer Banks Season 1 & 2

❛And then there's Avery. JJ was obsessed with her. You couldn't keep her away from the water long enough and she was always talking about something we didn't really understand. I don't know how she does it, but she's the type to make you come back for more. Probably explains why the Kooks and the Pogues fight over her. The thing is, Avery was like the waves. You never knew what she'd do next, but all you could do was enjoy the ride. I guess it's a good thing that JJ's the best surfer I know, huh?❜ ― WHERE the girl who has her head in the clouds and her heart in the ocean finds herself back in North Carolina because of her paranoid father, completely unaware of the erratic blue-eyed surfer she left heartbroken a year ago when their abrupt restart is fueled by his fear that she might meet the same fate as her mother, but JJ Maybank was determined to make Avery Cartwright remember just how perfect they were together, and maybe solve a century-old mystery along the way too.

Riley Thornton knows the rules. Don't cross the line. Don't let things spiral out of control. Do not get close to him. JJ Maybank is the line she always wanted to keep away from. She knows the rules. He breaks them. She comes from order. He - from chaos. Their worlds were never meant to collide. But the more words, the sharper they cut. The longer they look, the more dangerous they become. After all, the Kook and the Pogue aren't supposed to get close, right? There are rules that should never be broken.

The founding principle amongst the Pogues: no secrets. Unless, of course, you are sleeping with one. Three weeks ago, Parker Kate Routledge had everything she could ever want: four hundred million dollars worth of gold bars, a brand-new hot tub, and JJ Maybank naked in her bed. It was too good to last, and in a matter of days, it all came crashing down. The gold is gone. Her father was murdered. Her twin brother is dead. Now, Parker spends her days huddled in bed and her nights with the stars, wishing for John B to come back. She has truly lost everything -- her family, her fortune, and herself. JJ Maybank never expected his own words to bite him. For constantly saying he had "nothing to lose," he sure lost a lot. His best friend died, and now he watches the girl he loves slowly slip through his fingers. The light has gone from his favorite brown and blue eyes, and it's killing him. With a hole in his chest and Parker fading fast, JJ fights to keep himself and Parker afloat while keeping it quiet that he and Parker had sunk under the covers. When an unexpected message comes through, the Pogues are on another mission -- one important enough to get Parker out of bed and back on her feet. With fresh charges, more treasure, and a rapidly blossoming romance lying ahead for the teens, it's time for Parker and JJ to decide what they are...and how to keep a secret from their nosy friends.
