Things We Never Got Over (a Concise and Precise Summary)

Knox isn't interested in any kind of drama, even if it involves a lost runaway bride. It wasn't just the wedding that Naomi wanted to avoid. She was on her way to Knockemout, Virginia, to save her long-lost brother in a town where people settled their differences the old-fashioned way: with fists and beer. This is the typical sequence.

Naomi is unlucky because her twin, the evil one, hasn't changed at all. Tina takes Naomi's car and money, but she also leaves her with a surprise. She is Naomi's long-lost niece. Now she has an eleven-year-old who acts thirty to care for, no car, no job, no plan, and nowhere to call home.

Knox avoids complicated situations and women who require a lot of his time and attention for good reason. However, the least he can do now that he witnessed Naomi's life implode in front of his eyes is to assist her in getting out of this pickle. He can finally return to his quiet, isolated existence as soon as she stops making trouble for herself.

That is, at least, the intention until actual danger emerges.
