Synopsis

“Paige Toon warms your heart, shatters it in pieces, then puts it back together again and again.” —Abby Jimenez

Sometimes the heart wants what the heart can’t have.

Grace has loved Jackson since she was fifteen. Spending every summer together exploring his grandfather’s chateau and the tumbling rivers of the gorgeous Ardèche region of France, they were best friends. Until he married someone else.

Three years later, a newly single Jackson re-enters Grace’s life with an irresistible offer: her dream job in the very town where their story began. As memories from those idyllic summers flood back, Grace encounters another old friend Étienne, who proposes a plan to make Jackson jealous. Their scheme begins to work just as Grace finds herself questioning if the sparks between them might not be so pretend after all.

But games can be dangerous, and Étienne is harboring a secret that could shatter Grace’s heart.

-> Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC. Paige Toon is one of my favourite authors, and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her twice. I adored her last two releases, so, in all honesty, I had relatively high hopes of loving this just as much. It’s a slow-burn, touching story about childhood friends, a love......more

"Toon makes the most of the French countryside setting of this transporting destination romance... Toon plays fair with the love triangle, skillfully building out each character’s backstory. The real star here, though, is the dazzling scenery, from quaint small towns to caves bedecked with prehistoric art. Armchair travelers are sure to be pleased." —Publishers Weekly

“A lush, addictive love story with sizzling chemistry and a twist I didn’t see coming, all set during one steamy summer in the South of France—prepare for heart-melting heat!” —Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author of He Falls First

“Another heartfelt, beautiful romance from the queen of emotional love stories. With its gorgeous sun-soaked setting and a tension-fueled love triangle, this is like a dream summer holiday in book form. I couldn't help but fall in love.” —Beth O’Leary, author of The Flatshare
