Don't Fall in Love With Me

Author Paige Toon
“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.
“A sweeping, inter-generational love story filled with toe curling romance with a redemptive and healing ending I never saw coming. Paige Toon has complete control of my heart.” —Annabel Monaghan, New York Times bestselling author of Nora Goes Off Script

“A gorgeous, heartfelt spin on friends-to-lovers and coming of age romance. You will love Paige Toon!” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author of Pack Up the Moon

“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
