Welcome back to Knockemout, Virginia. The brand new novel from Lucy Score, following her global bestseller: Things We Never Got Over. Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn''t about to let anyone in his life know he''s struggling. But his new next-door neighbour, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she''s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash''s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk. Too bad Lina''s got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she''s in town, he''ll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn''t do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she''s after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people''s skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he''s not about to be dissuaded . . . even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.

THE FOLLOW-UP TO TIKTOK SENSATION AND MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER THINGS WE NEVER GOT OVER

Police Chief Nash Morgan is known for two things: being a good guy and the way his uniform accentuates his rear end . . .

But two bullets put a dent in his Southern charm and now he's facing a criminal still on the loose and a town full of citizens that consider the law more of a 'guideline'. The last thing he needs is the leggy, smart-mouthed Lina Solavita moving in next door, making him feel things he doesn't have the energy to feel.

Lina is on a mission. As soon as she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. The town of Knockemout has other ideas. Soon she finds herself sucked into small-town life. Dog-sitting. Saying yes to a bridesmaid's dress. Listening to the sexy chief of police in the shower.

But when Nash discovers Lina's secret these friends become furious enemies - though the sparks flying between them don't know the difference between love and hate.
