Between Pogues and Kings

Born into money, Avery Dalton has always been expected to play the part of a perfect Kook. Perfect clothes. Perfect friends. Perfect boyfriend.

And for a while, she does.

Dating Rafe Cameron makes sense. Their families approve, they rule every party, and on the outside they look untouchable.

But Rafe's temper is getting worse. His grip on her life is getting tighter. And the more time Avery spends pretending everything is fine, the more she feels like she's drowning.

Then she meets JJ Maybank.

JJ is everything she's been taught to stay away from-reckless, loud, and a Pogue through and through. At first, they can barely stand each other.

But JJ is also the first person who notices the things Avery tries to hide.

The bruised wrist she covers with bracelets.
The way she flinches when Rafe raises his voice.
The way she looks at the ocean like she wants to disappear into it.

And once JJ starts paying attention, he can't stop.

Caught between the world she was born into and the one that finally feels real, Avery Dalton finds herself standing on the line between Pogues and Kings-and realizing that crossing it might cost her everything.
