Things We Left Behind (Knockemout, #3) by Lucy Score

Things We Left Behind by Lucy Score is a breathtaking enemies-to-lovers romance that burns slow before exploding into an inferno of passion, pain, and second chances. This emotionally charged story—set in the beloved Knockemout universe—delivers everything fans crave: razor-sharp banter, soul-deep wounds, and a love so intense it threatens to destroy before it heals.

Lucian Rollins is a man forged in ice—a ruthless, self-made billionaire who uses control like armor. His mission? Erase his family’s dark legacy and never let anyone close enough to hurt him again. But Sloane Walton, the small-town librarian with a spine of steel and a grudge to match, refuses to be ignored. Their history is a minefield of unresolved tension, and when their paths collide over a long-buried secret, their hatred sparks into something far more dangerous: undeniable, all-consuming heat.

One reckless night changes everything. For Lucian, it’s a vulnerability he can’t afford. For Sloane, it’s proof that the man behind the fortress of wealth and power still has a heart—one she might foolishly want to claim. But when their dreams clash (her hope for a family, his terror of becoming his father), Lucian does what he does best: he walks away to protect her. Too bad Sloane isn’t the kind of woman who needs protecting—and Lucian’s about to discover that the only thing worse than having her is living without her.

With its fiery chemistry, gut-wrenching emotional stakes, and a love story that fights tooth and nail for a happy ending, Things We Left Behind is Lucy Score at her finest. Perfect for readers who live for:

• Broken, possessive heroes who push love away—until they can’t
• Fierce, take-no-prisoners heroines who challenge them at every turn
• Slow-burn hatred that melts into off-the-charts passion
• Small-town drama with big emotional consequences

This isn’t just a romance—it’s a battle of wills, a reckoning with the past, and a testament to the kind of love that refuses to stay buried. Prepare to be wrecked, healed, and utterly obsessed.
