First published 2023
Nash Morgan once charmed everyone in Knockemout as the good Morgan brother. Now the police chief battles panic attacks and nightmares after taking a bullet in the line of duty. He hides his struggles behind his badge, but his new neighbor Lina sees through his facade. She avoids physical contact with most people, yet Nash's touch calms something inside her. Their attraction burns hot and immediate. Nash grounds her in ways she never expected. Lina planned a quick fling with the local cop before disappearing with what she came to steal. She never stays anywhere long and refuses to put down roots. But Nash has other plans once he decides to claim her. He won't back down even when facing the same danger that nearly destroyed him. Lina's secret mission could shatter everything between them if Nash discovers the real reason she moved next door. Knockemout has a way of changing people's plans.
