Calgary *Rafe Cameron*

In the sun-bleached chaos of the Outer Banks, Khloe Genrette is still living between two worlds-Kook royalty by blood, but a ghost in her own social circle. With her closest ties split between Pope Heyward and Sarah Cameron, and a dangerous, unspoken pull toward Rafe Cameron, she becomes an unlikely bridge between the Pogues and Kooks as tensions on the island begin to rise again.

When a new clue tied to the original Royal Merchant treasure surfaces-hinting at something far more valuable and far more dangerous than gold-the fragile balance Khloe maintains starts to crack. The Pogues get pulled back into the hunt alongside John B and JJ, while the Cameron family begins moving in secret to control what's been found before anyone else can touch it.

Khloe's family name unexpectedly becomes the missing piece of the puzzle, connecting her father Chandler Groff and mother Larissa Genrette to a buried history involving offshore accounts, hidden maps, and a second layer to the treasure hunt no one saw coming.

As the search intensifies, alliances blur-Pogues don't fully trust her, Kooks want to claim her, and Rafe refuses to let her slip too far into either world and out of her own head. What starts as a treasure hunt quickly turns into a fight over loyalty, legacy, and survival on the island.

And Khloe?
She's right in the middle of it all trying not to get dragged under.
