Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout, #1)

by Lucy Score

Knox looked at me and sighed. He put his free hand on the back of my neck and pulled me into his side. “Here’s the situation. Your daughter blew into town trying to help her no-good sister, no offense.” “None taken,” Mom assured him. “I took one look at Naomi and fell hard and fast.” “Knox,” I hissed. But he squeezed the back of my neck and continued. “We’re just seeing where this thing goes. Could be nothing, but we’re enjoying it. You raised a smart, beautiful, stubborn woman.” Mom fluffed her hair. “She gets that from me.” “What is it you do for a living, Knock?” Dad demanded. “Knox,” I corrected. “He owns businesses and some property, Dad.” My father harrumphed. “Self-made man? Guess it’s better than Mr. Nepotism.” I assumed he was speaking of Warner, who got a job at the family company after college graduation. “Got lucky a few years back and won the lottery. Invested most of it here in my hometown,” Knox explained. “Thought I’d used up all my luck till Naomi here showed up.”
