"Some people don't arrive all at once. They slip into your life quietly, in between moments, in laughter you didn't expect, in the kind of silence that somehow feels full. Harper Ray Emberson was like that. Not loud. Not obvious. But impossible to ignore once you noticed her. The kind of person who made the world feel softer, like the edges weren't so sharp anymore. And maybe that's the problem with people like her, you don't realise how much they matter until everything starts to change." ──── ୨୧ ──── On the Outer Banks, nothing stays simple for long. Not friendships. Not choices. Not the things you tell yourself you can control. Everything shifts eventually, pulled under by something stronger than you. Harper Ray Emberson learned early how to hold herself together. Careful words. Careful steps. A life built on a thin line and knowing to never crossing it. JJ Maybank never believed in lines. He was reckless in the way storms are, loud, unpredictable, impossible to ignore once he hits. The kind of person you don't plan for. The kind of person that changes things. They weren't supposed to collide. And if they did, it wasn't supposed to matter. But some people don't stay small in your life. Some moments don't fade like they should. And no matter how hard you try to keep your distance, something always pulls you back. Different instincts. Different worlds. Same pull. The kind you don't understand, until it's already too late. But they weren't that different, both pogues, same family life, they were the same person in different fonts. This all started in the third grade. But I'll let the story explain that. ──── ୨୧ ──── 𖦹 JJ Maybank x Female OC 𖦹 Mystery / Treasure Hunt 𖦹 Slow-ish burn 𖦹 Family 𖦹 Secrets 𖦹 Romance / Thriller DO NOT STEAL! ᥫ᭡. author: Haley May ༄.° all rights reserved.

JJ Maybank wasn't looking for help. Not with the long hours at the garage, not with raising a five-year-old on his own, and definitely not from a Kook girl with big eyes and a voice too soft for her own good. But when Briella "Bambi" Martin shows up to babysit his daughter, everything starts to shift. Elise adores her. JJ trusts her more than he should. And Briella... she's trying to give a little girl the kind of love she never got growing up. She's sunshine with bruised edges. He's a storm learning how to soften. Neither of them plan on getting attached. Until JJ finds himself standing between her and the world without thinking. Until the line between babysitter and something more begins to blur by accident.

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.

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***
