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.

Some people don't stay dead. Some love stories don't stay buried. And some girls will do anything to bring their boys back. JJ Maybank was everything to Mara-best friend, twin flame, almost lover. And when he died, a piece of her did too. But grief does strange things. It whispers. It twists. And sometimes, it brings the dead home. Now JJ is back. Changed. Crowned. Haunted. And the past he left behind is clawing its way to the surface. This time, Mara won't lose him. Not even if it kills her. ***I can not stress enough that JJ will NOT die in this book, no matter how much it seems like it-HE IS NOT DYING***

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.

Season 3 rewrite of Outer Banks. After leaving Poguelandia and returning to the OBX with nothing but a story no one will believe, the Pogues find themselves in deeper danger than ever before. For Liana Routledge, coming home means realizing her family has been lying to her. Her father has disappeared. Her brother knows more than he's saying. And whatever secret they're hiding is powerful enough to get them killed. As she spirals between loyalty and betrayal, the only person she trusts is JJ. JJ is trying to protect her, keep the Pogues together, and not lose himself in the process. But when the consequences of her family's past come crashing into their present, JJ is forced to answer the question he's spent his life avoiding- how far will he go for the people he loves? What will you do for your treasure?

On a wild, untamed island, the Pogues are learning to survive- but JJ and Liana are discovering something even more dangerous: each other. Years of unspoken tension and stolen moments erupt into a fiery, undeniable connection as they navigate the island together. Between hunts for food, sandy shores, and nights under the stars, their friendship shifts into something deeper, hotter, and completely consuming. In Poguelandia, love is no longer a secret- and neither is the pull that could change everything.

Book 3/season 2 of the OBX rewrite series. The Pogues are back-and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. For Liana, surviving on the Cut is no longer just surviving school and being broke. Haunted by the darkness of her past, she finds herself caught between loyalty to her brother John B, the chaos of getting him back, and the growing pull she can't ignore toward her best friend, JJ. But love has never been an option, and danger waits around every corner. From the stormy waters of the Outer Banks to the tangled lies of the Cameron's, every choice Liana makes carries weight-not just for her, but for everyone she loves. As secrets unravel and alliances shift, the line between survival and surrender blurs. And when the fire inside her threatens to consume everything, she must decide whether to keep running... or finally let someone in.
