Things We Hide From the Light by Lucy Score continues the Knockemout series with a story centred on Police Chief Nash Morgan, a respected officer recovering from a near-fatal shooting. Though known for his charm and dedication to his town, Nash is struggling with physical and emotional trauma while trying to keep order in a community that rarely follows rules.
Everything changes when Lina Solavita moves in next door. Sharp-tongued, independent, and clearly hiding something, Lina disrupts Nash’s carefully controlled recovery. Despite her insistence that she will not stay in Knockemout long-term, she gradually becomes entangled in the town’s chaotic but close-knit community.
As Nash and Lina spend more time together, their relationship shifts from irritation and suspicion to undeniable attraction. However, both are carrying secrets that threaten to destabilise their growing connection. When Nash uncovers Lina’s hidden past, trust between them fractures, turning passion into conflict.
Things We Hide From the Light by Lucy Score blends romance, emotional healing, and suspense, exploring how love can survive even when built on broken trust and buried truths in a town where everyone knows everyone—but not everything.
