Genevieve "Vi" Thornton is Topper's younger sister by two years. She's never fit the typical Thornton mold. While everyone else mapped out her future in courtrooms and law firms, Vi chose art studios and city streets. Giving up their dreams for her own nearly cost her everything, with only her brother sticking beside her. Three years after chasing her passion in New York, she's back on Figure Eight. Living with her brother and his fiancée, working for her grandfather, and pretending she knows what comes next. That's when someone from her past comes crashing back into her life, dangerous enough to threaten everything. Rafe Cameron, Kook royalty with money, power, and a ruthless streak. The boy she once almost loved. The mistake Topper made sure she never had the chance to make. So, what happens when a forbidden flame rekindles into something darker, something closer to obsession?

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.

Skylar Hayes partly grew up on the Outer Banks. After her mother died a sudden and tragic death when Skylar was just five years old, her uncle brought her to visit the OBX whenever he could- on weekends, during school breaks, and so on. He did this not only to keep her mother's memory alive and to show Skylar the beautiful island where he and her mother (his sister) had grown up, but also to protect her from her abusive father. Just before her 13th birthday, her father decided to move them to California. Now 17, an incident with her father leads Skylar to move in with her Uncle Mason for good. With minimal parental supervision, new friends, and some newfound freedom what kind of trouble will Skylar find herself in, and what secrets might she uncover along the way? JJ was her first crush, her childhood best friend. Rafe was just the cute, mysterious older brother of the kids she used to hang out with from time to time. Skylar comes to find herself stuck between the two, realizing they're both just two different sides of the same storm, having to choose which side she's willing to take on: the free spirited, reckless, deeply caring one - or the dark, mysterious and sometimes even dangerous one. While both are equally intense, they also both give her a sense of safety she desperately craves.

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.
