Things We Never Got Over

Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score is a bestselling romance novel published in 2022. The story revolves around Naomi Witt, a woman in her thirties who leaves her wealthy fiancé at the altar and heads to a small town in northern Virginia to help her twin sister, Tina. However, upon arriving, she discovers that her sister has disappeared, leaving behind her 11-year-old daughter, Waylay. Naomi takes on the responsibility of caring for her niece while trying to rebuild her own life.

Naomi finds work at the town’s bar, where she meets Knox Morgan, the handsome and wealthy owner. Despite their mutual attraction, both Naomi and Knox are hesitant to pursue a relationship. Knox has become a recluse since winning the lottery, causing a rift between him and his brother Nash, who is the town sheriff. However, he takes a special interest in Naomi and Waylay, ensuring that they have a place to stay. 

As Naomi settles into her new life, she makes friends with her neighbors and coworkers. However, tension arises between Knox and Nash when they both become attracted to Naomi.

Naomi’s ex-fiancé shows up at the bar and demands that she return to New York with him. Knox intervenes and punches him out, causing Naomi to grow closer to Knox. However, Knox’s emotional trauma from his lottery win and his difficult relationship with his alcoholic father cause him to resist committing to Naomi.
