#1 New York Times Bestseller USA Today Bestseller The Globe and Mail Bestseller Publishers Weekly Bestseller bad-boy barber with a beard Knox loves to do it alone, much as he does when he drinks his coffee. Unless you include Waylon, his basset dog. Even if the drama takes the shape of a stranded fugitive bride, Knox won't put up with it. Naomi wasn't only evading her wedding. In Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges community where conflicts are handled the old-fashioned way—with fists and beer—she was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin. In most cases, in that sequence. Unfortunately for Naomi, her wicked doppelganger has not at all changed. Tina leaves Naomi with something unexpected after taking Naomi's vehicle and money. Naomi was unaware of the niece she had. With an 11-year-old who is approaching 30 to care for, she is now stranded in the city without a vehicle, a job, a plan, or a place to call home. There is a reason Knox avoids complicated relationships and demanding women, particularly romantic ones. Yet given that Naomi's life fell apart in front of him, the least he can do is assist her in getting out of trouble. He can leave her alone and return to his calm, lonely existence as soon as she stops getting into fresh difficulties. That is the goal, at least, until the issue develops into a genuine threat. # Emily Henry # J.K. Rowling # Laura Dave # Sarah J.
