Brooke Routledge has always been told to act upon risk. She regrets it all. The love, the vulnerability, the true form that she provided to him. It wasn't worth it, and the cruelest part was the act of throwing it back into her face. She doesn't think he ever loved her. How could you? It runs so much deeper than that. Neither of them knew what they were doing, how they were feeling, and how to fix it all-though, under everything, they wanted to fix it. Risk. It's what destroyed Brooke Routledge. But in a strange way, she wondered, could risk be what saves her? OBX ␥ Rafe Cameron & JJ Maybank © elegancies

゛to live for the hope of it all ⸝⸝.ᐟ⋆ Sirena Yarrow has always been a Pogue. In her eyes, anyway. Sunburnt skin, salt in her hair, and the kind of loyalty that runs deeper than the ocean surrounding the Outer Banks. Life on the Cut isn't easy, but Sirena has her people, late nights on the HMS Pogue, reckless plans, and the constant reminder that Pogues only have each other. But everything gets complicated when treasure rumors start circling the island and the divide between Pogues and Kooks grows even sharper. Because somehow, in the middle of all the chaos, Sirena finds herself tangled up with the one person she was never supposed to care about- Theo Cameron. Sarah's twin. A Kook. And the kind of boy who could ruin everything. As the hunt for long-lost treasure pulls everyone deeper into danger, Sirena is forced to choose between the life she's always known and the feelings she never meant to have. Out here, loyalty means everything... but secrets, betrayal, and the truth buried beneath the island might change the game for all of them.
