Sophie Hayes was engraved into the land of Outer Banks. A town that only seemed to haunt her alongside that five letter last name. That name that held more secrets than its own legacy should have. A name written in blood and greed. And Sophie never fit into just one world- not really. Because by blood, she was both a Kook and a Pogue. And everyone knew that if you lived in the Outer Banks, you were for one side or the other. Not both. Even if that meant someone forced your hand in choosing your side. But when there was someone who walked the other side that you use to know, it makes things a little more complicated than it should have been. And that complication always seemed to be JJ Maybank, himself.

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.
