Valerie Mellon never thought she'd find herself back in the Outer Banks, the place she once called home, after spending four years in New York working for her father.
But here she was, standing in her childhood house, a different woman than the one who left.
Determined to rebuild old connections, she sets out to stabilize her bond with her childhood best friend, Sarah Cameron, and her cousin, Kiara Carrera.
However, the Outer Banks holds more than just memories-it also holds her first love and greatest heartbreak, Rafe Cameron. The golden boy she once gave her heart to is now a man she's tried-and failed-to forget.
As their paths cross again, Valerie finds herself torn between the intoxicating pull of their connection and the painful memories of their past.
Is this second chance a testament to enduring love or just another mistake waiting to happen?
This is a story of love, betrayal, forgiveness, and the enduring ties of loyalty that shape who we are-and who we choose to be.

Winter Shoupe Lowe, Outer banks Royalty
It's nine months after Winter's life changed forever. She went from being the biggest thing among her peers. Every Kook wanted to be her friend and every pogue wanted to be her but she changed. She no longer felt like she belonged on figure 8. She felt like her friends and family had her in a shocking guilt.
That was until she met a guy that felt the same pain she did. He numbed her pain and she his. They haven't left each others side since that evening on the beach
