Sixteen-year-old Monroe Hale has never felt more at home than she has when surrounded by her friends, the Pogues. They were supposed to have the summer of their lives - filled with warmth, laughter, alcohol, and weed as they ignored the rules and delved deep into troubled waters.
Except this time, trouble found them.
Thrown into an unfamiliar reality of shipwrecks, lost gold, missing persons, dead men, and homicidal murderers, Roe has to come to terms with the depths of her feelings for her best friend and the insanity that the enemy has developed an unhealthy obsession with her - all while the world tries to drown her beneath its bottomless depths.

❝𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞❞ | JJ Maybank (2)
|A JJ Maybank Fanfiction. |Sequel to Darling. Dove Dalles was supposed to be dead. Left behind, discarded like a fleeting memory in the depths of the Bahamas. But against all odds, she's still here-alive, but broken. Captive in a world of luxury and lies, surrounded by people who don't know her, don't understand her. She's alone, even in the midst of Rafe's dangerous affection. He claims to want her, but she's not sure whether he wants to possess her or break her. And somewhere, far from where she is, JJ is drowning in grief. Consumed by the rage of losing her-his Dove, the one person who made him feel something real. The pieces of their love are scattered in the wreckage of what was supposed to be a future together, and he doesn't know if he'll ever be whole again. The heartache gnaws at him, but revenge is all he has now. As Dove grapples with the reality of her survival and the dangerous hold Rafe has on her, she's torn between two impossible choices: the faint hope of escaping the life she never wanted, or the painful truth that she may never be the same person she once was. Can the love they shared survive the weight of everything they've lost? Or is it nothing more than a fleeting memory, fading into the shadows of their fractured worlds? The world they knew is gone, and so is the certainty that love can heal all wounds. As Dove and JJ fight to reclaim the remnants of their past, they must confront the brutal reality: not all scars can be healed, and sometimes the price of survival is losing the one thing you fought for.Complete
