The Outer Banks is a place where storms never stay on the horizon for long. Maisen Jade Lewis has always felt them coming, whether it is weather patterns, secrets, the way danger hangs in the air before it finally crashes down. She grew up on the edge of the island's wealth, full born Kook as they say, caught between the gold-plated world of her father's estate and the saltwater freedom of the Pogues. For years, she's managed to ride both currents, until now. When Big John's tape resurfaces, the hunt for the Merchant gold isn't the only thing dragging the Pogues deeper into uncharted waters. Big John left a message not just for his son but for Maisen too. A cryptic warning about her father, Alexander Lewis, and truths that could tear open everything she thought she knew about him... and herself. Maisen isn't the type to let anyone fight her battles for her. Not even JJ Maybank, the reckless, sharp-tongued Pogue who somehow keeps finding his way past her defenses. Together, their story unfolds in the riptide-pulled between loyalty and lies, love and survival, treasure and betrayal. The deeper they dive, the more dangerous the water becomes. Because storms don't just break on the Outer Banks-they uncover everything buried beneath. #1 in P4L 11/7/25 #1 in katiedouglas 12/27/25 Book One of the Riptide Series-Season One of Outer Banks.

Two weeks ago, Maisen Jade and the Pogues had everything. Four hundred million dollars in gold. Freedom. Family. Each other. But everything changed overnight. Maisen found out her father wasn't really her father. Her real dad-murdered. The gold-gone. The girl she finally made peace with-dead. And the boy she'd known her whole life, the one she'd just learned was her brother-gone too. Now she's standing in the wreckage of everything she loved, trying to figure out who she is without them. JJ Maybank hasn't left her side once. He lost his best friend, but before John B died, JJ made a promise-a promise he refuses to break. No matter how much it hurts. Watching the light fade from Maisen kills him, but after that first week, he started to see something shift. Something trying to grow back. And when a message comes from beyond the grave... it usually means there's another one waiting to be found. JJ, Pope, and Kie have one mission: get Maisen back to Maisen. The only thing is... does Maisen want to even be the girl she once knew? #2-JJMaybank 12/21/25 #1- relapse 12/27/25 Book Two of the Riptide Series-Season Two of Outer Banks.

After everything-the gold, the cross, the running, the drugs-the Pogues end up on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. Poguelandia isn't just a hiding place; it's a fresh start. No Kooks. No treasure hunts. No one chasing them down or tearing them apart. Just sun soaked days, salt air, and the kind of freedom they've spent their whole lives fighting for. With a new member, Cleo Anderson, their found family feels stronger than ever. Out there, it's just them attempting to figure out how to live when survival isn't the only thing driving them. But peace like this doesn't last forever. Because even in paradise, the past has a way of catching up-and the moment they're found, everything they've built on that island is at risk of slipping through their fingers. They may not have the gold. They may not have the cross. But they have each other. And for the Pogues... that's always been worth more than any treasure.
