Things We Hide From The Light by Lucy Score (Paperback)

Nash Morgan has always been the steady one. As police chief of Knockemout, he protects a town that plays fast and loose with rules, relying on his charm, patience and moral compass to keep the peace. Then two bullets change everything. Recovery is slow, his confidence is shaken, and the criminal who nearly killed him is still free. Nash barely recognises the man staring back at him in the mirror.

The last distraction he needs is Lina Solavita moving in next door. Sharp-tongued, bold and impossible to ignore, Lina disrupts Nash’s carefully rebuilt routine from day one. She makes him feel alive at a time when survival already feels like hard work.

Lina never planned to stay. She came to Knockemout with one goal, one secret and a strict exit strategy. Getting attached was never an option. Yet the town has a way of pulling people in. Favour turns into friendship. Observation turns into desire. Nash turns into a complication she did not plan for.

As attraction deepens, truths surface. When Nash uncovers Lina’s secret, trust shatters and anger replaces longing. Lines blur between duty and desire, justice and obsession. With danger still stalking Nash and emotions running high, both must decide what they are willing to risk.

In Knockemout, survival means facing the truth. Even the ones you hide from the light.
