Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout Series, Book 1)

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • TIKTOK SMALL-TOWN ROMANCE SENSATION

Written by Lucy Score, Things We Never Got Over is a high-octane, small-town grumpy-meets-sunshine romance set in the rough-and-tumble town of Knockemout, Virginia.

The story follows Naomi Witt, a runaway bride who flees her own wedding to help her estranged, chaotic twin sister, Tina. Instead of reconciliation, Tina steals Naomi's car and money, abandoning her with a surprise 11-year-old niece, Waylay. Stranded without a job or home, Naomi crosses paths with Knox Morgan, a bearded, tattooed, bad-boy barber who prefers solitude and his basset hound, Waylon, over drama. Despite his best efforts to stay uninvolved, Knox finds himself drawn into helping Naomi rebuild her life—until the trouble surrounding her twin escalates into real danger.

"I’m the guy who helps you out of a jam. Not the guy who stays."

Core Dynamics & Tropes:

  • Grumpy x Sunshine & Opposites Attract: Knox is solitary, blunt, and fiercely protective, while Naomi is optimistic, overly accommodating, and trying to keep her life from unraveling.

  • Small-Town Chaos: Set in Knockemout, Virginia, where locals settle rivalries with bar fights and beer, creating a tight-knit, fiercely loyal community.

  • Found Family & Instant Custody: Explores Naomi stepping up to raise her niece Waylay, forming a heartfelt bond that anchors the story.
