Two weeks ago, Maisen Jade and the Pogues had everything. Four hundred million dollars in gold. Freedom. Family. Each other. But everything changed overnight. Maisen found out her father wasn't really her father. Her real dad-murdered. The gold-gone. The girl she finally made peace with-dead. And the boy she'd known her whole life, the one she'd just learned was her brother-gone too. Now she's standing in the wreckage of everything she loved, trying to figure out who she is without them. JJ Maybank hasn't left her side once. He lost his best friend, but before John B died, JJ made a promise-a promise he refuses to break. No matter how much it hurts. Watching the light fade from Maisen kills him, but after that first week, he started to see something shift. Something trying to grow back. And when a message comes from beyond the grave... it usually means there's another one waiting to be found. JJ, Pope, and Kie have one mission: get Maisen back to Maisen. The only thing is... does Maisen want to even be the girl she once knew? #2-JJMaybank 12/21/25 #1- relapse 12/27/25 **Book Two of the Riptide Secrets Series. Show: Outerbanks.

The Outer Banks is a place where storms never stay on the horizon for long. Maisen Jade Lewis has always felt them coming, whether it is weather patterns, secrets, the way danger hangs in the air before it finally crashes down. She grew up on the edge of the island's wealth, full born Kook as they say, caught between the gold-plated world of her father's estate and the saltwater freedom of the Pogues. For years, she's managed to ride both currents, until now. When Big John's tape resurfaces, the hunt for the Merchant gold isn't the only thing dragging the Pogues deeper into uncharted waters. Big John left a message not just for his son but for Maisen too. A cryptic warning about her father, Alexander Lewis, and truths that could tear open everything she thought she knew about him... and herself. Maisen isn't the type to let anyone fight her battles for her. Not even JJ Maybank, the reckless, sharp-tongued Pogue who somehow keeps finding his way past her defenses. Together, their story unfolds in the riptide-pulled between loyalty and lies, love and survival, treasure and betrayal. The deeper they dive, the more dangerous the water becomes. Because storms don't just break on the Outer Banks-they uncover everything buried beneath. **All additional characters and their personalities belong to me.** #1 in P4L 11/7/25 #1 in katiedouglas 12/27/25

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.

❝Oh, Oakley. . . What have you done?❞ Well, they say it's best to start at the beginning, but when the story gets so twisted and out of hand, who really knows where the beginning starts? The Outer Banks is not the paradise Earth talks about. It's nowhere near the Eden, and it's oceans hide the stories that lie underneath it with such ferocity no one has ever dared defy it to uncover the truth. No one ever expects a book not to end in a happily ever after. We're never warned about the possible turn in events, so we always expect the sun to shine once more and the dead to rise again. But like in every other story, nothing can always go well. And this wouldn't be a book if it had always been doomed to have a merry climax and an even merrier ending. And the island is about to realize that we should never trust anyone. Not even ourselves- Much less ourselves. That danger hides where you least expect it. The story of the Pogues is about to become the story of the paradisiacal island of the Outer Banks. Oakley Clifton is about to realize that love will always overpower every feeling inside her body. And JJ Maybank is about to find out that he truly, honestly needs nothing more than one soul to swim through the tsunami of the mayhem. Unconsciously, the Pogues learn that love goes beyond anything they've ever known. And it becomes all they know. BOOK 2 OF THE "THE MESS WE'VE MADE" SERIES.

But the Outer Banks is full of surprises, and when it comes down to it, most of them turn out to be hunting and unfinished- urging that one group of troubled teens to finish what the island never did. ❝This island is just full of surprises. . . ❞ And when they do. . . Loss and recovery stop sounding so hard to reach. Love and pain make a home in the children's hearts. Death becomes one's biggest enemies. And the story just begins.
