Madelyn "Maddie" Richards has everything money, power, and a future already mapped out for her in the world of high-end fashion. As the daughter of the richest family in the Outer Banks, her life has always been polished, perfect... and expected.
But behind the designer dresses and oceanfront views, Maddie just wants something real.
That's why she fell for John B Routledge.
Or at least, who she thought he was.
Because while Maddie is building her dreams and giving him her heart, John B is chasing something else... someone else. And the truth? He's been lying to her all along using her, while secretly falling for Sarah Cameron behind her back.
The only people who've never lied to her?
Kiara Carrera and JJ Maybank.
Kiara is her constant.
JJ is her chaos.
He's reckless, loyal, and completely off limits... but he's also the only one who sees the cracks in her perfect life. The only one who notices when her smile doesn't quite reach her eyes.
And when everything starts to fall apart, JJ is the one still standing beside her.
But when betrayal runs deep and hearts get broken, the line between friendship and something more begins to blur...
In a place where Kooks and Pogues are divided by everything, Maddie is about to learn that love doesn't follow the rules
And neither does JJ Maybank.
