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.

When 19-year-old Cove Wallace flees her turbulent life in Miami, she sets her sights on the Outer Banks--a place she's only seen in old postcards from her estranged father. Her goal is simple: to find answers about his sudden disappearance, recently declared a tragedy by locals who assume he's dead. But when she arrives, she uncovers a secret that changes everything-she has a half-brother, John B Routledge, who's on his own quest to solve their father's mysteries. Cove is quickly pulled into John B's world, one of sun-soaked beaches, hidden dangers, and an intense rivalry between the working-class Pogues and the wealthy Kooks. Together with his loyal friends-Sarah, JJ, Pope, and Kiara-Cove finds herself entangled in a high-stakes treasure hunt that holds the key to their father's secrets. As Cove struggles to find her place in the tight-knit group, her growing connection with JJ Maybank complicates everything. JJ is reckless, charming, and loyal to a fault, but their undeniable chemistry threatens to shift the group's delicate balance. When the treasure hunt puts lives on the line and alliances are tested, Cove must make impossible choices: pursue her budding romance with JJ, honor her newfound bond with John B, or walk away from the family she's only just discovered.

|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
