Lucy Score

Lucy Score writes character-centered romance novels that pair plot-driven stories with relationship conflicts among guarded, self-reliant adults. Her prose is direct and conversational, with witty dialogue carrying flirtation, argument, and shifts in trust. Small towns often create pressure around the central couple, while secrets and external danger keep courtship tied to practical choices about family, home, and commitment. In Things We Never Got Over, a runaway bride, an abandoned niece, and a reluctant rescuer form an improvised household. Things We Hide from the Light threads recovery from a shooting through secrecy and a neighbor romance, while Maggie Moves On uses the restoration of a Victorian house to test a heroine’s habit of leaving before she can settle.
