"Ashfords don't raise voices. They raise expectations."
Katherine Caroline Ashford was born into elegance. Polished silver, antique china, and silence passed down like heirlooms. In Ashford Hall, the rules are unspoken. The doors stay closed. And girls like her learn early how to smile, even when they don't mean it.
But behind the gowns and generations... there a fractures. Disappeared mothers. Dinners that feel like theatre. Cameron boys who leave shadows in every room.
But beyond the gilded gates of Ashford Hall, there is sunburnt chaos, reckless laughter, Pogues who live by no one's rules, gold waiting to be found.
JJ Maybank is everything she has been raised to avoid. But he might be the first person to see her at all.
Ashford Hall is rotten. Maybe it's finally time for the castle to crumble.

Pretty tragedy - JJ Maybank
Juliette Prescott is the kind of girl you whisper about. Gorgeous, guarded, and born into Kildare's gold-lined world, she's a legacy Kook with a sharp tongue and an even sharper reputation. After the car crash that killed her mother and left her barely breathing, Juliette stopped caring what people said - and started becoming exactly what they feared. To most, she's ice in lip gloss and Dior. To Sarah Cameron, she's a sister. To Rafe, she's the one he hasn't figured out. And to JJ Maybank - she's trouble. The kind you don't walk away from. But when a treasure hunt pulls her into the shadows of something darker than heartbreak, Juliette is forced to confront everything she's buried - including the fire behind JJ's blue eyes and the scars she swore no one would ever see. Because beneath the money, the attitude, and the perfect mask... She's still that girl in the wreckage. Still bleeding. Still loyal. Still longing to be loved for more than her pretty tragedy. 💋💋💋 This is your trigger warning and SMUT warning for the series. Slow burn. Season 1 - Complete.

{Book 1/2} Growing up in the shadow of her older half brother, John B, would not have been the life Harley would have chosen. But then again, she also wouldn't have chosen to be poor, have a deadbeat Mom, an asshole of a Dad, and she definitely wouldn't have chosen to live in the outerbanks. After being dumped there at age six, Harley learnt quickly, that when you're a pogue, you don't have the best of luck. After being blackmailed by JJ, her brothers annoying best friend, Harley somehow finds herself getting in way over her head on a treasure hunt with John B and his friends, and in the chaos of it all, she finds herself starting to accept the fact that maybe pogue life isn't that bad after all, and maybe a certain blonde headed pogue in particular, wasn't as annoying as she originally thought.

❝𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠❞ | JJ Maybank
A JJ Maybank Fanfiction| In the Outer Banks, the Pogues live by one rule: nothing to lose, everything to gain. When Dove Dalles-artist, ex-competitive surfer, and JJ Maybank's longest-held secret-discovers an ancient letter buried in an abandoned house, the Pogues are thrust into a hunt for one of the most infamous treasures in history: Blackbeard's lost hoard. The discovery unravels secrets long hidden in the depths of the island and reveals a world of cryptic maps, sunken ships, and dangerous rivals who will stop at nothing to claim the fortune for themselves. As the group pieces together the clues, they find themselves facing challenges that test their courage, their loyalty, and their very survival. For Dove, the treasure represents more than adventure-it's a lifeline, a chance to break free from her fractured home and find the happiness she's always craved. But as the hunt unfolds, it forces her to confront long-hidden feelings for her best friend, JJ-whose reckless spirit masks feelings he's long buried. As the Pogues delve deeper into Blackbeard's shadowy legacy, they face rising tensions, life-threatening dangers, and truths that could either strengthen their unbreakable bond or tear them apart forever. Somewhere beneath the tides lies a secret worth dying for-but JJ and Dove will have to decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to claim it. I do not own Outerbanks, but this original story and Wren (Dove) Dalles, completely and utterly belongs to me. | Top Rankings. |#1 JJMaybank |#2 RafeCameron |#3 OBX |#1 Treasurehunt |#1 Hunt |#5 TreasureComplete
