Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout, #1)
By Lucy ScorePublisher Description
Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.
Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.
There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

“this is a rollercoaster ride through one hot Viking's mood swings and a runaway bride's hilarious mess of a life. Our heroine, Naomi Witt, lands in Knockemout, Virginia, looking for a fresh start and boy, does she get a wild one. Her evil twin Tina steals everything, dumps a kid (surprise, you’re an aunt now!), and Naomi is left scrambling with an 11-year-old niece and no plan. Just as she’s figuring out how to adult on the fly, she meets Mr. Viking Extraordinaire the one, the only, Knox Morgan.
Now Knox? Yeah, he’s hotter than the small-town gossip mill grumpy, growly, tattooed the whole bad-boy package. And Naomi? A ray of sunshine on legs. Naturally, the only logical thing to do is butt heads like it’s an Olympic event. But guess what? This big, broody hunk has a soft spot, and he shows it by calling Naomi the cutest nickname: Daisy, Daisy, Daisy… or Daze, depending on just how flustered he is. 🥰 I mean, swoon.
the slow-burn between these two? It’s a glacial melt—agonizingly delicious, with banter sharp enough to cut glass. Knox tries to keep things “simple” (LOL, good luck, buddy) while Naomi juggles an angsty kid, nosy townsfolk, and the chaos her sister left behind. Meanwhile, the chemistry between them? Absolutely electric. Sparks, steam, and stolen glances all over the place. Enemies to lovers? Check. Found family? Double check. This romance has more tension than your phone’s screen time report.
And just when you think these two are getting their act together, Knox pulls out his classic grumpy card: “I don’t do relationships.” (Sure, Viking, keep telling yourself that while you’re busy melting under Naomi’s sunshine.) It’s a wild dance of emotional whiplash, ridiculous stubbornness, and epic make-out sessions that feel like both characters might spontaneously combust at any second. And the side characters? An absolute riot especially Waylay, Naomi’s niece, who is just as cheeky as the rest of the town.
This book is long, chaotic, and packed with feels but it’s worth every second. Between the witty banter, emotional depth, and all those stolen kisses, you’ll be rooting for Naomi and Knox (aka Mr. Viking) from start to finish.”
