Jealousy isn't loud. It doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes, it slips in quietly and is disguised as a harmless crush, a lingering glance, a smile, a hope that refuses to go away. It starts small. A look that lasts a second too long. The kind of attention that feels like everything, even when it's barely anything at all. Your name is Y/N Routledge. The Pogue Princess. You're supposed to know better. But knowing better doesn't stop you from wanting the wrong person. It doesn't stop you from crushing on someone like Rafe Cameron (like all the girls on Kildare), even when deep down, you know he was never really yours to begin with. And it definitely doesn't stop the slow, aching realization that while you were busy looking in one direction... someone else never stopped looking at you. JJ Maybank, your best friend and partner in crime since third grade, has always been there for you. Something constant. Something real. Even if he hides it, even if he knows you're "off limits", even if it drives him crazy watching you chase something that he knows was never real. Because jealousy has a way of blurring everything. Turning friendship into something more, trust into something fragile, and desire into something dangerous. It makes it harder to tell the difference between who you want, and who actually wants you back. This isn't a story about love at first sight. It's about wanting the wrong person for far too long. And by the time you finally see what was right in front of you the whole time, it might already be too late.

Lola Huntington is the definition of a kook. She's beautiful, popular, rich and dating the kook prince himself, Rafe Cameron.

Two sworn enemies, forced together when Lola finally escapes her controlling and manipulative boyfriend, and the pogues take her in.

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.

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.
