Things We Hide from the Light (Knockemout, #2) by Lucy Score

Things We Hide from the Light by Lucy Score is a soul-stirring small-town romance that peels back the layers of pain, healing, and the redemptive power of love. The second book in the beloved Knockemout series turns the spotlight on Nash Morgan—the once-carefree police chief whose easy smile hides deep scars after a life-altering shooting. Now grappling with unseen battles—panic attacks, sleepless nights, and a pride that won’t let him ask for help—Nash is a man barely holding it together, even as his town still sees him as their unshakable hero.

Enter Lina, his enigmatic and fiercely guarded neighbor. She’s all sharp edges and no-nonsense attitude, a woman who lives for temporary pleasures and avoids attachments at all costs. But beneath her tough exterior lies a vulnerability she refuses to show—and a secret that could upend everything. When their explosive chemistry leads to a no-strings fling, neither expects the emotional undercurrents that pull them closer. Lina sees the real Nash, broken pieces and all, and for the first time, he’s tempted to let someone in.

Brimming with Lucy Score’s signature wit, sizzling tension, and a town full of meddling but well-meaning characters, Things We Hide from the Light is a story of vulnerability, courage, and the kind of love that heals even the deepest wounds. Perfect for fans of:

• Broken heroes with golden hearts fighting their way back to light
• Strong, secretive heroines who challenge them at every turn
• Slow-burn passion that simmers into an inferno
• Small-town charm laced with suspense and emotional depth

This is a romance about facing the past, embracing the messiness of healing, and discovering that the right person doesn’t just see your cracks—they help you rebuild. A must-read for anyone who loves stories where love doesn’t fix everything… but it gives you the strength to.
