In the Outer Banks, loyalty is everything - and secrets are currency.
After a scandal shatters her family's pristine Kook reputation, Ellie Hartwell is forced from the safety of Figure 8 into the unpredictable world of the Cut. She isn't looking for friends - only answers. Her father vanished months ago without a trace, and Ellie knows his disappearance wasn't by chance.
JJ Maybank - reckless, guarded, and fiercely loyal to his own - senses danger the moment Ellie steps onto Pogue turf with whispers of hidden files, family betrayal, and the elusive Royal Merchant mystery. His instincts scream to keep her at arm's length. But there's something about the calm fire she hides - a pain he can't ignore.
John B Routledge, the determined leader of the Pogues, carries his own shadows - scars left by a past that feels strangely entwined with Ellie's. When their paths cross, an unspoken bond forms - a silent understanding that the secrets they chase run deeper than either expected.
Together, they plunge into a search through buried truths and shifting alliances where every revelation threatens to pull them under. In Low Tide Hearts, the tide doesn't just rise - it drags everything with it. And sometimes, the greatest danger isn't the ocean, but the ones you choose to trust.

Driftline : Book 1
Two years away. One summer to find out what really matters. And a storm that will change everything. Rowan Routledge thought she'd left the Outer Banks behind, boarding school, scholarship, new life. But when she comes home for the summer before junior year, the island hasn't changed... and neither have the Pogues. Except now, she's not just John B's twin sister. She's grown into her own. Stronger. Smarter. A little bolder. Maybe even brave enough to face the crush she never admitted, the secrets the island hides, and the storm, literal and otherwise, that's about to hit. With her best friend Kiara by her side, tension with former friend Sarah bubbling beneath the surface, and JJ Maybank throwing more glances than she knows what to do with, Ro is pulled back into the chaos of her old life. When the Pogues discover a sunken Grady White and a mysterious motel key, the summer takes a dark turn. What starts as an adventure quickly becomes a hunt, for truth, treasure, and who they can really trust. Because in the Outer Banks, nothing stays buried forever. #OuterBanksFanficComplete

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
