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.

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.

❛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.
