Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone.

Nash isn''t about to let anyone in his life know he''s struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she''s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash''s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk.

Le phénomène TikTok de l''année pour cette new romance " nouvelle génération ". Alors que Naomi plante son fiancé devant l''autel, sa jumelle Tina l''appelle à la rescousse à Knockemout, une petite ville où les querelles se terminent soit en bagarres, soit en beuveries. Malheureusement, Tina n''a pas changé : sitôt sa soeur retrouvée, elle disparaît avec la voiture de Naomi, abandonnant au passage sa fille de onze ans. Knox, bienfaiteur de la ville et bad boy à ses heures perdues, ne fait pas dans les relations compliquées, encore moins avec une mariée en fuite. Mais puisque la vie de Naomi vient d''exploser sous ses yeux, la moindre des choses est de lui venir en aide. Il pourra ensuite retourner à son tranquille quotidien. Enfin, ça, c''était le plan initial, car il y a peu de chances que l''histoire en reste là...

Knox prefere viver a vida como gosta de tomar o café: em completa solidão. Mas tudo muda quando um terramoto chamado Naomi, uma noiva à procura da sua irmã gémea, de quem não tem notícias há anos, chega à pequena cidade. Pena que a irmã lhe roube o carro e o dinheiro e a deixe responsável por uma sobrinha que ela não sabia que existia. Vendo a vida de Naomi desmoronar, Knox decide fazer o que sabe melhor: salvar pessoas. Depois, regressará à sua rotina solitária... pelo menos, é esse o plano.

Primul volum din seria Knockemout Un nou fenomen BookTok Knox, băiatul rău, cu barbă și plin de mușchi, preferă să-și trăiască viața așa cum își savurează cafeaua: singur. Nu suportă drama, nici atunci când îi iese în cale cea mai dramatică apariție: o mireasă fugară, fără niciun ban în buzunar. Naomi nu doar că a fugit de la propria nuntă, ci a sărit imediat în ajutorul surorii ei gemene și s-a dus în Knockemout, un orășel îndepărtat din Virginia, unde conflictele se rezolvă în modul tradițional:… cu pumni și bere. De obicei, în ordinea asta. Dar sora geamănă a lui Naomi nu s-a schimbat deloc. După ce i-a furat mașina și banii, Tina i-a lăsat și un cadou neașteptat: nepoata pe care Naomi n-a știut niciodată că o are. Knox nu vrea să se complice cu o femeie care vine la pachet cu atâtea probleme. Dar cum viața lui Naomi s-a transformat în haos chiar în fața lui, se hotărăște să-i dea o mână de ajutor și apoi să se întoarcă la traiul lui liniștit. Nu și-a imaginat însă că totul o va lua razna. „Povestea lui Knox și Naomi e spectaculoasă, plină de momen-te memorabile. Lucy Score a scris una dintre cele mai bune cărți ale anului!" – Book Addict „Un roman tandru și emoționant despre iubire, prietenie și obsta¬colele pe care ți le scoate în cale viața." – Liber Lady „Lucruri peste care nu putem trece e genul de carte la care continui să te gândești și după ce o termini de citit și începi să rememorezi episoadele ce te-au făcut să râzi, să plângi și să trăiești la intensitate maximă!" – About That Story

I''m confused. Do you want me to spy on my fiancé or get naked with you? Both. I thought that was obvious. Revenge. It''s the only thing Ashley can think about after finding her supposed fiancé, Steven, with his tongue down the throat of the worst human being in the history of the world--his colleague, Ice Queen Victoria. Turns out it''s not the only body part he''s betrayed her with. Humiliated and furious, Ashley finds herself being propositioned by security expert and ridiculously sexy Jason Baine. But he''s not just looking to get her into bed. He needs her help taking down Steven and Victoria and rescuing his family''s company before it''s too late. Ashley''s a regular girl, a normal person. She doesn''t dabble in corporate espionage or illicit affairs. At least she didn''t until Jason... But now she''s in too deep and things are getting dangerous.

You don''t fall for your brother''s high school sweetheart, your boss''s daughter, or your ex-wife''s best friend. Especially when they''re all the same woman. Under Brick Callan''s mile-wide chest beats a loyal heart with a few cracks in it. He''s the steadfast, overprotective type. Especially when it comes to the one woman he can never have. It''s a long, complicated history punctuated by fights, friendship, family, and an attraction that strains his iron willpower. When Remi Ford returns to Mackinac Island in the dead of winter with a secret, Brick makes it his mission to find out what put the shadows in those green eyes. Even if it means breaking down the walls he''s built between them. Even if it means falling for the one girl he''ll never get over. The free-spirited artist just needs to lay low for a few weeks so she can figure a way out of this nightmare. She''s definitely not staying. Not when the man who broke her teenage heart into splinters keeps showing up at her parents'' dinner table. Remi doesn''t need broody, bearded Brick riding to her rescue...again. Not when it will put them both in danger, costing them much more than their hearts. Author''s Note: Frenemies-to-lovers. Opposites attract. Slow burn. Girl in danger. Glorious, glorious banter. Fighting as foreplay. Small-town shenanigans. Big, grumpy, pining, overprotective hero. Wild-child, trouble-finding heroine who keeps on pushing the hero''s buttons. Steam Level: Lava. Suspense: Nail-biting. Feels: Big time.

Newsflash. You don''t buy me, a$#%^*e. You earn me. The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They''re the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double Check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the Best Man? More like the Worst Man. But Maid of Honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She''s got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a Best Man with a big attitude and an even bigger...checkbook? Yeah, there''s no way she''s going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend''s wedding. No matter how sexy he is. (Well, that''s the plan anyway...) Aiden Kilbourn doesn''t do long-term relationships. He''s busy ruling the business world, and has yet to find a woman he can tolerate for longer than a month, two at the outside, anyway. Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter. And he hasn''t met a challenge that he can''t win. But Franchesca Baranski? This smart-mouthed girl from Brooklyn may just be his downfall.

Băieții buni se îndrăgostesc de fete rele Nash Morgan a fost cunoscut dintotdeauna pentru zâmbetul său și gesturile prietenoase față de toată lumea. Însă acum se reface după ce a încasat două gloanțe și farmecul lui sudist este eclipsat de atacuri de panică și de coșmaruri. Simte că a devenit doar umbra celui care a fost cândva. Dar nu e dispus să lase pe cineva să-i descopere slăbiciunea. Numai că noua sa vecină, Lina, inteligentă și sexy, îi observă frământările. Ca regulă generală, Lina nu agreează contactul fizic dacă inițiativa nu-i aparține. Totuși, dintr-un motiv inexplicabil, atingerea lui Nash este altfel. Lucru pe care-l simte și el. Conexiunea fizică dintre ei este incitantă, copleșindu-l pe el și făcând-o pe ea să se întrebe dacă merită riscul de a continua. Din păcate, Lina are propriile secrete și, dacă Nash descoperă adevăratul motiv al venirii ei în oraș, nu o va ierta niciodată. În plus, ea nu se implică în relații. O aventură toridă cu un polițist local? Da, categoric. O relație cu un bărbat care așteaptă de la ea stabilitate? Niciodată. După ce obține ceea ce vrea, Lina nu intenționează să mai rămână prin preajmă. Însă Knockemout are vraja lui aparte. Și odată ce Nash decide s-o cucerească pe Lina, nimic nu-l descurajează… chiar dacă pentru asta trebuie să se confrunte cu pericolul care era cât pe ce să-l ucidă. „Lucy Score scrie povești de dragoste sincere și pline de umor, iar romanul de față nu face excepție.“ – Woman’s World „O carte savuroasă, incitantă și plină de semnificații.
