Introduction to 'Paradise'

Samantha Routledge is a fellow Pogue, and the younger sister of John B. Granted John B is only 10 months older; they are both the children of Big John Routledge but have different mothers. Sam's mother lives next door to Luke Maybank and JJ, so Sam was never a stranger to the blonde boy. One day in third grade Sam became friends with the young Maybank boy. She introduced him to her brother, and they have been inseparable ever since. JJ has been Sams best friend, confidant and shoulder to cry on, since before she could remember, but could they become more than just that? Could their feeling for each other be stronger than they thought? But with Samanthas dramatic home life and overprotective brother, will it be impossible for JJ and Sam to admit their feelings for each other? Will their friendship last the dramas of the Outer Banks, the Pogues, the Merchant gold and confessions.
