Between Tides - JJ Maybank

In the Outer Banks, where the divide between the wealthy Kooks and the working-class Pogues runs deep, Harper, Ruby, and Neena never thought they'd be dragged into something bigger than their usual summer antics. As proud Pogues, the trio is used to staying on the sidelines of the island's drama. But after a dangerous confrontation at a party, their lives take a turn they never expected.

Harper's new job working for the enigmatic Ward Cameron pulls her into a web of secrets, especially when she finds herself face-to-face with John B-the island's most notorious Pogue-and his tangled relationship with Sarah Cameron. As sparks fly between Harper and the wild-hearted JJ, she's unsure if it's just a summer fling or something more dangerous.

Meanwhile, rumors swirl about the disappearance of a local man during Hurricane Agatha, and the girls find themselves embroiled in the mystery as they reconnect with Charlotte Grubbs, a former mentor who returns to the island searching for answers about her missing father.

Caught between their Pogue roots and the high-stakes world of Kooks, the girls must navigate betrayals, shifting alliances, and the tension-filled secrets of the Outer Banks as they fight to uncover the truth before it's too late.
