Summary
There’s the fourth member, too. JJ. Bass, the boy who sounded like every sun she had watched crawl over the horizon from the beach. The boy whose gaze she had met in the crowd like their eyes were magnets seeking each other out. Quietest onstage, but used his instrument like he was born with it. He doesn’t go for a towel or a journalist: instead, one of the roadies come up to him, takes his bass, then tapes up his thumb with gaffa tape and cotton wool. There’s a line of dried blood that runs down the inside of his palm, and he sucks it into his mouth, pink mouth becoming even pinker. His hair, dusty blond, dark gold with perspiration, sticks to his forehead.
Kie thinks, oh.
or, Kiara is a music journalist waiting for her big break, and JJ is the bassist in a band that might just be the answer.

Summary
She’d let John B make it for her mostly to humour him. They’d sat in the now-empty cafeteria, painstakingly putting together a profile that Kiara had internally sworn to delete as soon as she got home.
It was simple and concise; coy enough to draw in visitors, but with enough information to paint a good picture. Kiara Carerra. 25. Marine conservationist at the North Carolina Zoo. Likes: animals, the ocean, recycling and feminist writers. Dislikes: the patriarchy, microplastics, and crabs. (Okay, so the crabs left a mark. Sue her.)
But then she starts getting matches.
or, Kiara goes on a string of bad dates at the same restaurant. The hot annoying bartender isn’t exactly a drawback.

Summary
They think they know him, but they only know the version of JJ Maybank that learned how to survive. Morocco should have killed him. Instead, it sends him home to something worse.

Summary
Her eyes flicker to the hand on her leg. Kiara leans towards him, lowers her voice. "I didn't take you for someone who follows orders."
JJ doesn't miss a beat. His hand moves a fraction higher. "I suppose I can be... persuaded."
Oh, he's good. Or bad, depending on how you look at it. Kiara bites her lip, considers.
AU. Kiara thinks it's just a one-night stand. Turns out she will be seeing JJ Maybank around all summer because he is teaching her daughter how to surf.

Summary
Well, it was weird to go home. But it was weirder not to. They were her parents. Kiara wasn’t stupid. She knew she had hurt them, right or wrong. She knew they had hurt her, right or wrong. She knew she couldn’t run from that forever.
Kiara goes back to see her parents after returning from South America. It doesn’t go well.
