MULTIPLE POV.
Fallon Kennedy x Rafe Cameron.
Blair Kennedy x JJ Maybank.
Fallon and Blair used to have everything, money, reputation, a last name that opened doors. But after their family fall from grace, the sisters now scrape by in the Cut with their distant, broken father. Fallon Kennedy is wild, sharp-tongued, and fueled by fury. Racing through the backroads at night is the only way she knows how to survive until Rafe Cameron offers her something more dangerous. A map, a mystery, and a shot at something buried deeper than money. She should hate him. She definitely doesn't trust him. But there's something between them that won't stop burning.
Blair Kennedy is nothing like her sister, calm, careful, and desperate to hold what's left of their world together. She's drawn to JJ Maybank, a boy with chaos in his eyes and kindness he doesn't know how to show. What starts as a friendship grows into something bolder, something real.
When a mysterious map resurfaces, tied to a dark piece of Outer Banks history, Fallon finds herself drawn into a dangerous treasure hunt and into the orbit of Rafe Cameron, the one boy she swore she'd never trust. Sparks fly, secrets deepen, and enemies blur as their uneasy alliance begins to burn into something else.
But whispers of a killer called the Reaper haunt the island and Fallon begins to wonder if they're all hunting something that wants to stay buried.
Caught between old money, lies and betrayal, Blair and Fallon must navigate the shadows of their past, the truth of their bloodline, and the men who might save or ruin them.
