Description
Police chief Nash Morgan is back in Knockemout after a shooting, but returning home has not restored his sense of safety. Panic attacks and nightmares are worsening, and he works to conceal them from the town that expects him to remain in control. His new neighbor, Lina, recognizes his distress and becomes both a source of stability and an intensely physical temptation. Yet Lina has private reasons for coming to town, plans to leave once her purpose is fulfilled, and refuses the settled future Nash wants. As danger connected to the shooting persists, their short-term arrangement strains against secrecy, vulnerability, and incompatible expectations in a small-town romance shaped by suspense and recovery.
