Between the waves

Elena Rivera has been a Pogue for as long as she can remember.

John B, Kiara, Pope, JJ, and Elena have grown up together-sharing bonfires, boat rides, trouble, and every crazy adventure the Outer Banks has thrown at them.

But Elena and JJ have always been a little different.

They're best friends.
They tease each other constantly.
They flirt like it's a game.
They'd do anything for each other.

Neither of them would ever admit there's something more.

Then John B's dad disappears, leaving behind a mysterious compass and clues that could lead to a legendary treasure.

Suddenly, the five Pogues are thrown into a dangerous treasure hunt that changes everything.

As secrets surface, friendships are tested, enemies close in, and the line between best friends and something more starts getting harder to ignore.

JJ has always been the boy Elena could count on.

But what happens when the boy she's always called her best friend becomes the boy she can't stop falling for?

Because sometimes...

the person you've been looking for your whole life has been standing beside you all along.
