Protecting What’s Mine
By Lucy Score
From the Sunday Times and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Never Got Over comes a sizzling romance about love, resilience, and finding safety in the arms of someone unexpected.

Fire Chief Lincoln Reed lives for the thrill—whether it’s saving lives or charming his way into hearts. But his carefree world is turned upside down when flight trauma surgeon Mackenzie O’Neil swoops into his life—first at an accident scene and then as his new next-door neighbor. Too bad Mackenzie seems immune to his flirty charm.

Burned out and seeking peace, Mackenzie’s temporary stint as a small-town family physician is supposed to be her reset. Her plan? Meditate, sleep more, and maybe even start gardening. But Linc—with his tattoos, smoldering looks, and irresistible charm—is making “relaxation” increasingly difficult.

What starts as a fiery fling turns serious when the shadows of Mackenzie’s past resurface, threatening the life she’s trying to rebuild. Linc is ready to step up and be her hero, but some battles Mackenzie must face on her own.

With scorching chemistry, heartfelt moments, and a touch of danger, Protecting What’s Mine is a page-turning romance that reminds us love is worth the risk—even if someone might get burned.
