Not Part of the Plan

Not Part of the Plan by Lucy Score is a contemporary small-town romance set in Blue Moon Bend and positioned as the fourth book in the Blue Moon series. It pairs Emma Merrill, who has moved across the country to be closer to family and build a steadier life, with Nikolai Vulkov, a fashion photographer whose arrival brings exactly the kind of disruption she does not want. Emma is looking for something grounded. Niko, at least on the surface, looks like trouble.

That contrast shapes the book’s premise. The story leans into friction, attraction, and the difficulty of sticking to a sensible plan once another person starts getting under your skin. With its close-knit town setting, the novel carries the warmth and interference of a community where privacy is scarce and everybody notices everything. Readers can expect a romance that mixes sharp chemistry with a lived-in small-town backdrop, balancing humor and emotional vulnerability without giving up the sense that these two people are pulling against very different ideas of what a good life should look like.
