Demitra Thornton has everything a Kook girl is supposed to want.
The big house. The last name. The twin brother who rules the Figure Eight side of the island. She's sarcastic, spoiled, and very good at keeping people at arm's length.
She's also spent years noticing JJ Maybank.
The night of the beach party, she finally walks up to him. For a few minutes it feels easy. Almost dangerous in a way she likes.
Then JJ puts a gun to her brother's head.
After that, Demitra doesn't look at him. Doesn't speak to him. Doesn't acknowledge he exists.
But Outer Banks has a way of dragging people back together - especially when gold, secrets, and bad decisions are involved. And JJ has never been good at staying away from things he wants.
She was supposed to stay on her side of the island.
She didn't.
