I DO NOT OWN THE OUTER BANKS CHARACTERS
Brooklyn had always been the girl who lived between two worlds-the glitzy, privileged life of the Kooks, and the rebellious, gritty loyalty of the Pogues. She and JJ had been inseparable since they were kids, their bond forged in the saltwater of the Outer Banks, yet lately, something had shifted, an undercurrent of tension swirling between them that neither could deny. They shared glances that lingered a little too long, their every touch electric, but neither of them could admit the feelings that simmered just below the surface. Brooklyn, though raised in the world of wealth and status, had always felt more at home with the Pogues, especially JJ-his wild spirit was something she couldn't resist, despite the unspoken rule that Kooks and Pogues didn't mix. Her family had deep ties to Sarah Cameron's, the two families bound by old money and darker secrets, yet Brooklyn could never quite escape the pull of her heart to JJ, the one person who made her feel alive. As the tension between them builds, neither knows if their friendship can survive the dangerous game they're playing-or if they'll ever be brave enough to cross the line and finally see what's been waiting between them all along.
