「 ✦ SYNOPSIS ✦ 」

ROSEMARY JANE MAYBANK —better known as MJ—had spent her entire life raising hell in the Outer Banks with her equally reckless twin, JJ. Together, they were a storm no one could contain, living by one unshakable motto: rules were meant to be broken. They were broken over and over until MJ finally pushed things too far and earned herself a one-way ticket out of town at the end of the summer.

But this summer? This summer would be different. This summer would be the best yet—the last great adventure before her life was no longer her own. Sure, she'd abided by the "no pogue on pogue macking" rule, but what harm was there in bending two more? No boys and no kooks? Please. Rules like those didn't stand a chance.

JJ Maybak didn't know how he'd survive without her. MJ was his twin flame, the other half of his chaos, the person who dove headfirst into danger right alongside him. He'd promised to protect her, no matter what. But there were two things even JJ couldn't shield her from: the future looming over them—the one where she'd be gone in a matter of months—and the fact that Rafe Cameron, their sworn enemy and a rival drug-dealing kook, had somehow caught her attention.

The Maybank twins could break all the rules, but this summer, the ones they bent might just break them.
