Synopsis

“Five giant stars. Propulsive and gut-wrenching…An all-consuming, epic love story.”—Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Summer Romance

One Day meets a contemporary Bridgerton in this high-drama, escapist wonder of a love story, Paige Toon’s best yet.

Three days to fall in love. Six years to try to forget.

Ellie didn’t expect to fall in love while interrailing through Europe. But she also didn’t expect to meet a man like Ash. Three blistering days in Lisbon is all it takes to form an unforgettable connection—a bond deep enough for them to scrap their itineraries and plan to meet again in Spain. But Ellie arrives late, and Ash is nowhere to be found.

Six years later, Ellie has landed her dream job working as a gardener for a viscount and viscountess on their sprawling five-hundred-year-old estate in Wales. She finds peace amongst the towering topiary hedges and colorful gardens, but her idyll is shattered when Ash crashes back into her life. And when it becomes clear why he didn’t show in Madrid, her heart breaks anew—for what the truth means for their fate.

But they have never been able to resist each other, and when the sparks of their attraction fly, Ellie’s life will catch flame. She will have to make a choice.

Goodreads review by Marieke on October 23, 2024

Paige Toon has been an auto-read author for me for years, and her latest novel, Seven Summers, was a masterpiece. I would have rated that one a million stars if I could. So, when I read that the main characters in What if I Never Get Over You meet while interrailing in Portugal, my heart jumped up.......more
