JJ Maybank Endgame - He Fell First, She Fell Harder

Y/N Routledge. Sixteen. John B's little sister.

He's been the overprotective type ever since your dad disappeared months ago-setting rules you never agreed to, and watching your every move like you'd vanish too. It's been just the two of you for a while now... well, and JJ Maybank.

Seventeen, reckless, full of trouble and charm. He's always around-more than you'd like to admit. And sure, you both get along, but it's always been just friendship. Mostly. Probably.
You're a Pogue through and through. Scraped knuckles, stolen boats, and not following the rules is your normal. Sarah Cameron is tolerable now that she's dating your brother, and surprisingly, she's proven herself more than once. But Kooks like Rafe and Topper? Let's just say if looks could kill, they'd be buried six feet under the Chateau.

This summer feels... different. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's the secrets.

Or maybe it's the fake relationship you never expected to agree to.

Rules were made. Lines were drawn. He's not supposed to fall. You swore you wouldn't either. But sometimes hearts don't follow rules-especially in the Outer Banks.
