Det viser sig dog hurtigt, at hun ikke vil hjælpes. Efter at have stjålet Naomis bil og kontanter, forlader Tina byen og efterlader i stedet Naomi noget uventet. En 11-årig niece, Naomi aldrig har hørt om før. Badboy Knox foretrækker at leve sit liv alene i den lille by Knockemout, hvor uenigheder håndteres på gammeldags vis– med knytnæver og øl. Han tolererer ikke drama. Heller ikke når det står lige foran ham. I form af en brud på flugt fra sit bryllup.Det er ikke uden grund, at Knox ikke gør sig i komplicerede relationer til kvinder. Men idet Naomis liv eksploderede lige foran ham, er det mindste han kan gøre at hjælpe hende. Lige så snart hun har løst sine problemer, kan han vende retur til sit fredfyldte, solitære liv …Alt det vi aldrig kom os over er første bog i Knockemout-serien.

Den hotte finale i Knockemout-trilogien, der er blevet det ultimative BookTok-fænomen.Lucian Rollins er en hævntørstig forretningsmogul. Mens han forsøger at udviske sin kriminelle fars aftryk på familiens navn, arbejder han på at sikre og udbygge sit forretningsimperium. Jo mere magt og rigdom han kan skrabe til sig, desto tryggere føler han sig. Blandt de mange trusler tæller byens determinerede bibliotekar, som holder ham søvnløs ...Sloane Walton er en vulkan af viljestyrke, der har arvet sin fars stærke retfærdighedssans. Og hun skal nok sørge for retfærdighed, når hun finder ud af, hvad hendes ærkefjende, Lucian, præcis gjorde ved – eller for – hendes familie.En mørk hemmelighed og en gensidig aversion forbinder Lucian og Sloane. Og så et altopslugende begær! Men én ting har Lucian lært af sin far: Ødelagte mænd ødelægger kvinder. Og det har Lucian ikke tænkt sig at demonstrere for Sloane. Han vil hellere leve i ensomhed end at såre hende. For hvem skal beskytte hende, når han skrider fra det hele? Og hvor mange chancer giver man en mand, der er sin egen værste fjende?

Andet bind i BookTok-fænomenet, der med sin faste plads på bestsellerlisterne smelter hjerter verden over.Politichefen Nash Morgan er kendt som den gode af Morgan-brødrene, men efter en skudepisode er hans sydlige charme og varme smil overskygget af mareridt og panikanfald. Han føler sig som en skygge af sig selv og har ikke planer om at vise nogen, hvordan han i virkeligheden har det. Nash’ nye nabo, den tjekkede og sexede Lina, ser dog hurtigt igennem ham. Hun er ikke meget for fysisk kontakt og gør sig ikke i forhold, men af en eller anden grund er det anderledes med Nash. Forbindelsen imellem dem er flammende, og hun tvivler på sine principper. Det viser sig dog, at Lina bærer på en hemmelighed, der kan ødelægge alt imellem dem. Men de er jo alligevel bare en sommerflirt, og så snart Lina har fået det, hun er kommet til Knockemout for, har hun ingen intentioner om at blive i byen. Men Lina undervurderer Nash’ karakter, og da Nash først har givet sit hjerte væk, er han ikke til at afskrække ... selvom det betyder, at han står over for den fare, der næsten dræbte ham.

Summer Lentz is out of place with her designer wardrobe and workaholic schedule. She asks too many questions and gets under his skin with her smart mouth and those denim-blue eyes.

Carter's only chance for peace is to scare her away from farm life so he can go back to his comfortable, solitary existence. But Summer's got a stubborn streak and secrets of her own. And once Carter starts pulling at those threads, he's not so eager to send her packing. Will a nudge from the matchmaking Beautification Committee result in a happily ever after or a homegrown disaster?

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got OverSummer is heating up for reluctant psychic Riley Thorn and her handsome private investigator boyfriend, Nick Santiago. First, her disapproving grandmother arrives determined to make Riley take her powers seriously or face the wrath of "the Guild." Then there's the homicide detective who needs her help figuring out who murdered the well-dressed corpse in the walk-in closet. Nick's got his own hands full with a tricky missing person case and his parents who want to know why he didn't tell them about his live-in girlfriend. Then there's the fact that he's still the tiniest bit stressed about Riley almost getting murdered earlier that summer. The last thing he wants is her getting involved in another investigation. Things go from bad to worse when the body count starts stacking up, the meet-the-parents dinner goes horribly wrong, and their elderly roommate is up to no good...dressed like a mime. To top it off, Riley is forced to return to Channel 50 on official police business to question her spray-tanned news anchor ex-husband and his new weather girl fiancée.

Living with a pack of elderly roommates. And those hallucinations she's diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they're clairvoyant visions. Just when things can't get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for one of her neighbors...who turns up murdered.

When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress. All they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep a by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. All before the killer discovers she's a loose end that requires snipping.

Una de las novelas románticas más virales de Lucy Score, la autora favorita de muchas lectoras de BookTok. Un romance lleno de pasión y ambientado en una oficina. Un héroe gruñón decidido a salirse con la suya y una heroína osada que empieza a preguntarse si bajo los increíbles chalecos de su jefe se oculta un corazón de oro. Dominic: La despidieron por mi culpa. Tenía un mal día y lo pagué con una persona inocente en una pizzería. Pero Ally Morales no tiene nada de inocente, y lo demuestra durante el primer día en su nuevo trabajo... en mi oficina... después de que mi madre la contrate a mis espaldas. Puede que su personalidad alegre ilumine la redacción de la revista, puede que me guste que discuta conmigo delante de todos y puede que sus ojos marrones y su lengua afilada se hayan adueñado de todas mis fantasías, pero ella es solo un puzzle que quiero resolver. Y si consigo que dimita, quizá tenga vía libre para conocerla... Después podré dedicarme a restaurar el buen nombre familiar y olvidarme de esa morena a la que le encanta bailar y beber cerveza. Ally: Ja. Ni lo sueñes, gruñón. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over. Dominic was staring at me like he couldn't decide whether he loathed me or wanted to French kiss me. Dominic: > So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine's offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue. But that doesn't mean that I'm going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father. She's working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn't feel like sharing with me. And I'm going to fix it all. Don't accuse me of caring. She's nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit working here, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Ally: Ha! Hold my beer, Charming.
