Things We Hide From the Light

With a grin and a smile for everyone, Nash Morgan was always regarded as the good Morgan sibling. However, this police chief's Southern charm has been eclipsed by panic episodes and nightmares as he recovers from being wounded. He seems like a gloomy shadow of the person he used to be. Nash has no intention of disclosing his struggles to anybody in his life. However, his attractive and intelligent new neighbor Lina can see his shadows. She generally dislikes physical contact unless she initiates it, but Nash's touch seems different to her. He also senses it. They have an intense physical connection that grounds him and makes her question whether taking a chance on further exploration is worthwhile.

Unfortunately, Lina has her own secrets, and Nash would never forgive her if he discovers why she is in town. She also doesn't engage in partnerships. Never. Hot, brief affair with a local police officer? Certainly. Register her. A partnership with a guy who anticipates her putting down roots? No way, no way. She does not plan to stay around after she achieves her goal. However, Knockemout has a talent for piercing people's emotions. And once Nash makes the decision to make Lina his, he won't back down, even if it means taking a risk that might have killed him.
