Description

He'd crashed the party to cause trouble, but the moment you walked in, everything else faded. You're new to the Outer Banks, a world defined by a war between two classes: the wealthy Kooks of Figure Eight and the working-class Pogues from The Cut. As the daughter of a rich family, you're automatically a Kook—a princess in a gilded cage. Lonely and friendless on this island, you're forced to attend the Midsummer's gala, the pinnacle of Kook society. That's where you see him. JJ Maybank, a Pogue through and through, is there with his crew—John B, Pope, and Kiara. They're not supposed to be there, and their presence is a spark in a powder keg. JJ, with his reputation for being reckless and wild, is the most dangerous flame of all. Yet, when his eyes land on you, the universe seems to shrink to the space between you. To him, you should be just another spoiled Kook. To you, he should be nothing but trouble. But the intense, undeniable pull between you defies all logic and social divides. He's drawn to a light in you that you didn't know you had, and you're captivated by the fierce loyalty and hidden vulnerability beneath his bad-boy exterior.
