What If I Never Get Over You

***Your next summer read from bestselling author Paige Toon*** 
 
THE GREATER THE LOVE, THE HARDER THE FALL . . . 
Ellie didn’t expect to fall in love while travelling in 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 – deep enough for them to plan to meet again in Madrid. But Ellie arrives late, and Ash is nowhere to be found. 
 
Six years later, the memory of Ash and their time together still burns deeply in Ellie’s heart. She hopes that her dream job as a gardener on a grand estate in Wales will bring the fresh start she desperately needs. 
 
But when Ash unexpectedly crashes back into her life, Ellie is forced to question if the universe has other plans...
