The Storm Between Us JJ MAYBANK
Some storms come with thunder. Others wear sundresses and backwards caps. On the shores of the Outer Banks, summer is supposed to mean freedom. But for Iris Mae-Kook princess with a trust fund and a razor tongue-and JJ Maybank-hot-tempered Pogue with nothing to lose-it means war. She's Sarah Cameron's best friend. He's Sarah's boyfriend's best friend. And they've hated each other since the day they met. Or so everyone thinks. Because behind closed doors, in the shadow of sunburnt days and starlit parties, JJ and Iris have been breaking every rule. Sneaking around. Burning hotter than the Carolina sun. And the deeper they fall, the more dangerous it becomes to keep pretending. Especially when a centuries-old treasure map resurfaces, dragging them-and the rest of the Pogues-into a deadly hunt through twisted marshes, buried lies, and family legacies soaked in blood and gold. Love was never part of the plan. But secrets this big? They never stay buried for long. JJ Maybank x Female OC
