Marley Moreno moved to the OBX in the middle of high school with the expectation of it being an absolute shit show with nothing to offer her. Things start to shift as a certain blonde asshole proves her absolutely wrong (against her will).

Lola Martinez belongs to the side with money now - the very top of it. The richest girl on the island, living a life of yachts, beach parties, and secrets alongside the Camerons. She's the girlfriend of Rafe Cameron, best friends with Sarah Cameron, and the kind of Kook everyone either envies or fears. But Lola wasn't always one of them. Before the money, before the mansions, she was just a girl running wild with John B Routledge and JJ Maybank - the boys who were once her entire world. When her mother married a billionaire, Lola was pulled into a life of wealth overnight. And when he died, that wealth only grew. Yet money changes people. Or maybe it just shows who they really are. Now Lola lives between two worlds: the polished, dangerous world of the Kooks and the messy, loyal world she left behind. Her mother's secrets run deeper than anyone realizes, the Camerons are closer to her family than they should be, and the past she buried refuses to stay buried.

Book cover credits go to @PoisonedQuills Ellie Routledge has always lived in the quiet, raised in Colorado by her mom while her twin brother, John B, grew up chasing the sun on the Outer Banks. Introverted, book loving, and gentle, Ellie never expected to return to the place she barely remembers, especially not after losing the one person who made her feel safe. After her mom's death, Ellie moves in with her father, Big John, and the brother she's grown apart from, carrying her grief silently and trying not to make it anyone else's burden. The only constant she brings with her is her ragdoll kitten, Zac, and a heart full of things she doesn't know how to say. JJ Maybank notices her before he means to. At first, she's just John B's quiet sister, but soon, JJ sees the cracks she hides and the sadness she carries. What begins as two strangers sharing the same summer slowly turns into something deeper, softer, and unexpected. Sometimes, the people who feel the most unfamiliar are the ones who end up knowing you best.

Sienna thought she had left the past behind. She thought she had learned to guard her heart, to survive the silence of someone who once meant everything. But some loves don't fade-they wait. JJ was her first love, her reckless, unforgettable first heartbreak. He disappeared without warning, leaving her with nothing but memories and unanswered questions. Now, years later, he's back-and nothing about him is as simple as it once seemed. Caught between anger, longing, and the fear of getting hurt again, Sienna must decide if some wounds are worth reopening... or if letting go is the only way to save herself. The Heart Wants What It Wants is a gripping, emotional story about love, heartbreak, and the impossible choices that define who we are-and who we're willing to risk everything for.

Mara Vance catalogs the belongings of the dead on the Outer Banks, preserving the lives that the island has forgotten. When she crosses paths with JJ Maybank, quiet days turn into shared discoveries, secrets, and a connection neither expected-but some stories are impossible to ignore. All characters belong to Outer Banks except for Mara Vance , which belongs to me .
