LAGOON→ JOHN B ROUTLEDGE

Sunny Adler is a free spirit who rolls into the Outer Banks with a surfboard, a VW van, and no plans other than to live in the moment. When she hears about the Royal Merchant gold, she teams up with the Pogues, a group of local misfits, to search for treasure. Her impulsive, ADHD-fueled energy leads to unexpected breakthroughs-and even more chaos.

As she grows closer to John B, the group's brooding leader, Sunny's carefree attitude clashes with his sense of responsibility, sparking both tension and attraction. With danger closing in, Sunny must face her fear of commitment and decide if she's ready to stop running from her past and fight for those she loves.
