(Knockemout Series, 2) : Things We Hide from the Light By Lucy Score

Lucy Score, a bestselling author recognized by The New York Times and USA Today, revisits Knockemout, Virginia, following the much-loved "Things We Never Got Over." This time, she unfolds the story of Knox's brother, Nash.

Nash Morgan, formerly known as the charming and affable Morgan brother, now serves as the chief of police. Recovering from a gunshot wound, Nash grapples with panic attacks and haunting nightmares, transforming into a mere shadow of his former self. Despite his struggles, he remains determined to keep his difficulties hidden. However, his new neighbor, the intelligent and alluring Lina, senses his inner turmoil. Unusually, Nash's touch resonates with her, creating a profound physical connection that forces them to consider the risks of exploring it.

Unfortunately, Lina harbors secrets of her own, and the true reason for her presence in town is something Nash must not discover. Additionally, she staunchly avoids committed relationships. A passionate but brief affair with a local cop? Certainly. However, committing to a man expecting her to settle down? Absolutely not. Once she achieves her objectives, she plans to move on. Yet, the charm of Knockemout has a way of leaving a lasting impression. When Nash decides that Lina is meant to be his, he refuses to be deterred, even if it means confronting the danger that nearly claimed his life.
