Josephine Brooke Routledge, or Josie, is everything the Outer Banks isn't: quiet, kind, and far too gentle for the life the Pogues live. While her brother, John Booker Routledge dives headfirst into danger, treasure hunts, and trouble, Josie stays in the background with a book in her hand and a heart too big for the Cut. Everyone thinks she's innocent. Fragile, even.
But being the quiet Routledge doesn't mean she doesn't see everything.
She sees the cracks in the people around her, the grief John B hides, the pain JJ laughs off, the pressure Pope carries...and the darkness behind Rafe Cameron's eyes.
And somehow, Rafe keeps finding his way to her.
John B would do anything to protect his little sister, especially from someone like Rafe. But in the island, nothing stays simple for long. Secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and Josie finds herself caught between the family who would die for her..and the boy everyone warns her to stay away from.
What happens when the sweetest girl on the island becomes part of the darkest storm?
Because in the Outer Banks, even the quiet ones have a story.
