Protecting What's Mine by Lucy Score

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over comes a second-chance romance with a heartwarming emotional journal and a vibrant small-town cast.

Healing isn't easy--unless you find someone who refuses to let you go. Welcome to Benevolence: where scars fade, hope grows, and every love story is hard-won.

When burned-out trauma surgeon Mackenzie O'Neil escapes to a small town for a fresh start, romance is the last thing on her mind. But her neighbor, the town's fiercely loyal and impossibly attractive fire chief, refuses to let her hide behind her walls. Can Linc be her hero when she needs him the most or will their scars ruin everything?

Their slow-burn attraction is electric, but the true heat is in how they mend each other's hearts. Together, they'll face community meddling, playful banter, a disaster of a rescue dog who steals the spotlight, and the kind of danger that tests more than their courage.

One thing is certain: Someone is going to get burned.

Author's Warning: This small-town happily ever after is smokin' hot, sweetly hilarious, deliciously suspenseful, and a one-two punch to the feels. One-click for a disaster dog, precocious kids, a good ol' fistfight, nosy neighbors, high-adrenaline first responder heroics, firefighter bromance, and kitchen sexytimes.

Pretend You're Mine, a Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestseller, is written by Lucy Score. She graduated from a journalism program after growing up in a literary family that emphasized on reading at the dinner table. She works full-time as a writer from her home in Pennsylvania with Lucy and their nasty cat, Cleo. Lucy can be found on the couch, in the kitchen, or at the gym when she's not writing heartbreaker heroes and badass heroines. She dreams of writing from a sailboat, an oceanfront condo, or a tropical island with dependable internet access.
