When a bullet shatters his reputation, Knockemout’s beloved police chief Nash Morgan returns home a haunted shell of the charismatic brother everyone adored. Plagued by panic attacks and nightmares, he keeps his struggles hidden—until his new neighbor, the sharp‑witted and fiercely independent Lina Solavita, spots the darkness behind his smile. Lina rarely lets anyone touch her, but Nash’s tentative, unexpected tenderness ignites a fierce, grounding connection that both of them can’t ignore. As their incendiary chemistry deepens, each harbors secrets: Nash’s past trauma and a lingering criminal threat, and Lina’s hidden agenda that could shatter any chance of trust. In a town where the law is more a suggestion than a rule, their short‑term fling threatens to become something far more permanent, forcing both to confront the shadows they’ve been running from. "Things We Hide from the Light" is a sizzling, emotionally charged romance that explores love’s ability to illuminate even the darkest corners of a small‑town heart.
