It starts with a typo. One wrong digit. One accidental text. One very amused girl on the rich side of the island who definitely should not be laughing at JJ Maybank's dumb jokes. Emma Brooklyn wasn't supposed to answer. JJ definitely wasn't supposed to keep replying. And neither of them were supposed to enjoy it this much. There's just one small issue. Emma lives on Figure Eight. Her best friend is Rafe Cameron. And JJ? Well. JJ has never once made a good decision in his life. Now JJ's flirting across enemy lines, Emma's hiding notifications, and Rafe is one suspicious glance away from connecting the dots. It was just supposed to be a mistake. Unfortunately, it's starting to feel like fate.

She was a Kook. He was a Pogue. What started as sneaking through her window turned into something deeper than either of them expected. JJ Maybank has always been trouble; reckless, loyal, and too good at making her forget the world outside his arms. But when the past she thought she'd buried resurfaces in the form of Rafe Cameron, Y/N's perfect world begins to crack. Between whispered midnight promises, bruised truths, and summer storms, she'll have to choose between the life she was born into and the love she built in secret.

"𝚈𝚘𝚞'𝚕𝚕 𝚋𝚎 𝚏𝚒𝚗𝚎." "𝙽𝚘𝚝 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞." Samantha Rae Cameron isn't the cold, heartless bitch everyone thinks she is. She's different now. She's seen what her family built, she's seen what it costs, and she's stopped pretending the truth doesn't belong to her anymore. But when another legend surfaces and her friends decide the risk sounds reasonable, Samantha struggles to follow. Because this time, the hunt feels different. And somewhere beyond the storm they barely survived and the empire she watched collapse, her parents left something unfinished behind. And the world Samantha thought she understood? It was only ever one board. Now, the rules are different. And for the first time in her life, she isn't a piece on anyone's game. She's something far more dangerous. 𓆩ꨄ︎𓆪 Part two of the Pretty When She Series JJ Maybank x fem!OC Outer Banks Season 2 RANKINGS #1 on Sadie Stanley - 3/12/26 #3 on North Carolina - 5/7/26
