Publisher Description
“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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Toon (Seven Summers) breaks hearts with this poignant tale of love, loss, and second chances. Ellie Knapley and Ash Berkeley first meet in Lisbon, where they're each separately mourning their late best friends, and instantly feel a soulmate-level connection. After spending three steamy and hopelessly romantic days together, they make plans to meet up again in Madrid—only for Ash not to show up. Six years of no contact later, they're thrown back together under unexpected circumstances as Ellie, now a gardener for a British noble family, learns that Ash was never who she thought he was. Toon makes their reunion emotionally fraught as she skillfully fills in the blanks about why Ash abandoned Ellie all those years ago. The narrative works because their connection feels intense and palpable despite the compressed timeline of their initial affair. Enhancing the drama are some despicable villains, including Ash's father and Ellie's mother, and abundant miscommunication. Readers who like their romances on the angsty side are sure to connect with this.
