After a year away at Kitty Hawk, Cassie Maybank returns to the Outerbanks with a determination to get her life back on track. To stay healthy, to make her own friends, to live a normal, steady life like every teenage girl should. But after hearing the news of the passing of one of her closest friends, and coming back to the island, she realizes her brother's letters severely underestimated how much had truly changed.

A lot can happen in a year. 
Friends become strangers, brothers become liars. Some enemies become allies, some enemies become lovers.

𝐖icked 𝐆ames in 𝐖icked 𝐇earts - RAFE CAMERON by lizzieyuongg

When Laila Maybank, JJ's fiercely independent sister, unexpectedly crosses paths with Rafe Cameron, everything changes. At first glance, Rafe is everything she despises-entitled, arrogant, and dangerous. But as they continue to encounter each other, a slow, uneasy connection begins to form between them, challenging their preconceived notions and uncovering the vulnerability beneath their guarded exteriors. Set against the backdrop of the Outer Banks, where loyalties run thick and tensions boil over, their relationship is a fragile balance of curiosity and mistrust. Rafe, with his troubled past and unpredictable temper, and Lila, determined to stay out of the drama, must navigate their growing feelings in a world where their connection could mean betrayal on both sides. A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers story about the messy, complicated nature of human connections, and the unexpected bonds that can form when the lines between love and hate begin to blur.

Falling For You [ Rafe Cameron x Reader ] by crmexae

Y/N just moved to the Outer Banks with her aunt after her mother's death, she's never been there only few weeks at summer but never got along with no one. So this was a completely restart for her. Who would say that she was gonna fall in love with the most unexpected person, although that wasn't the only thing she would go through also break ups, friendships, drama, parties, everything that can happen in summer. ---- So for this story I'm not gonna follow the things that happens in the series, I'll add something's important to it but not everything!! I'm also not completely sure about what's gonna be in the story but I can say that there will a bit of everything <3
