Like many readers, I became quickly obsessed last fall when I picked up Lucy Score’s super popular, Things We Never Got Over, set in a rural Virginia town and featuring an opposites attract romance with so much cuteness, romance, and yes, a crime subplot (hello Virgin River fans). 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. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people’s skin. Once she gets what she’s after, she has no intention of sticking around. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. 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. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling.

He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. 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.Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone.
