P4

Y/N Cameron has spent her entire life on the Outer Banks as a Kook, growing up surrounded by money, parties, and the Cameron family name, so when she unexpectedly runs into John B, the last person she expects to hear from, she definitely doesn’t expect him to tell her that he’s searching for a diary belonging to Denmark Tanny—a diary that could lead to nearly $400 million in lost gold. At first, Y/N genuinely thinks he’s lost his mind, until John B explains that the diary is currently locked away in the archives and that there’s only one person who can get them inside: Y/N, because the diary originally came from her family’s house. Reluctantly, she agrees to help him retrieve it, expecting one stupid night of sneaking around and then going back to her normal life. Instead, she gets pulled straight into the middle of John B’s treasure hunt and the world of his friends—JJ, the reckless troublemaker who thinks every bad idea is a great one; Pope, the smart and levelheaded one who keeps them from completely losing their minds; and Kie, Y/N’s former best friend turned bitter enemy after years of school drama and a fallout neither of them has ever gotten over. Y/N knows she shouldn’t trust any of them, especially when John B starts dragging her into boat rides, hidden clues, abandoned buildings, secret maps, and increasingly dangerous situations, but the deeper they get into Denmark Tanny’s diary, the more Y/N realizes this treasure hunt is connected to her own family in ways she never could have imagined. And just when she thinks she can walk away, everything changes when John B discovers that the people searching for the gold aren’t just looking for the treasure—they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the Pogues never find it. What started as Y/N helping a Pogue steal a diary becomes a summer of secrets, betrayal, impossible choices, and one massive question: if the gold is really worth $400 million, how much is everyone willing to risk to get it?
