Things We Never Got Over (English Edition) by Lucy Score is a captivating novel published by Hodder & Stoughton. The story revolves around Knox, a bearded, bad-boy barber who prefers to live a solitary life, much like the way he takes his coffee. His only companion is his loyal basset hound, Waylon.

Naomi, the runaway bride, wasn’t just escaping from her wedding. She was on a mission to rescue her estranged twin in Knockemout, Virginia, a town known for its rough edges and settling disputes the old-fashioned way – with fists and beer, usually in that order. Unfortunately for Naomi, her evil twin Tina hasn’t changed at all. After stealing Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something she never expected – a niece she didn’t even know existed.
Now, Naomi finds herself stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no place to call home, all while taking care of an 11-year-old girl who seems wise beyond her years. Knox, who avoids complications and high-maintenance women, especially the romantic ones, can’t help but feel compelled to assist Naomi in her time of need. After all, her life imploded right in front of him.
As Knox helps Naomi navigate her new reality and tries to keep her out of trouble, he yearns for the day when she can stand on her own two feet and he can return to his peaceful, solitary existence. But will fate allow him to escape the entanglement of their lives, or will he find himself falling for the good girl he vowed not to fall for?
