MIDNIGHT SUN [ jj maybank ]

Vivienne Cameron has spent her entire life surrounded by old money, polished reputations, and people who mistake privilege for protection. As Ward Cameron's niece, she's expected to smile for the country club, keep her head down, and never make headlines.

Too bad she's spectacularly bad at following directions.

Smart-mouthed, impulsive, and armed with a talent for talking her way out of trouble she absolutely caused, Vivienne has earned a reputation for being the Cameron family's biggest headache. She'd rather steal a bottle of champagne from a yacht party than attend it, and the words bad idea have never once stopped her from doing anything.

So when the hunt for the legendary city of El Dorado takes a turn she never saw coming, Vivienne finds herself thrown into a world of buried secrets, centuries-old clues, and people who'd kill to get there first.

Unfortunately, she's stuck with JJ Maybank.

The reckless, thrill-seeking, mildly kleptomaniac Pogue has always had a weakness for women who spell disaster with a smile. Which explains why he hasn't been able to get Vivienne out of his head since the two shared one unforgettable summer night they both agreed meant absolutely nothing.

It definitely meant nothing.

Right?

Now they're forced to work together, stranded miles from everyone else with nothing but cryptic maps, impossible odds, and enough unresolved chemistry to make every argument feel dangerously close to a kiss.

The deeper they chase a treasure most people believe doesn't exist, the more they uncover secrets that should've stayed buried. Some belong to the Camerons. Some belong to the Pogues.

And some could change the Outer Banks forever.

Because finding El Dorado might be the easy part.

Making it home alive, without falling for each other all over again... that's where things get complicated.
