Paige Toon in Conversation with Mike Gayle - Nottingham

What if the person you love the most is the one you can’t have? Join us as we celebrate the release of Don’t Fall in Love With Me by Paige Toon. Paige will be joined by Mike Gayle.

Grace has loved Jackson since she was fifteen – when they spent every childhood summer exploring France's breathtaking Ardèche region together. They were best friends, until life took its course and Jackson married someone else.

Years later, Jackson re-enters Grace’s life with an irresistible offer: her dream job in the very town where their story began. And he’s newly single.

As memories from those idyllic summers flood back, Grace encounters an old friend Étienne, who proposes a plan to help make Jackson jealous. But as their scheme unfolds, Grace finds herself questioning if the sparks between them might not be so pretend after all…

Unbeknownst to Grace, Étienne is harbouring a secret that could shatter her world.

Will learning the truth finally set her heart free?

Or is this the beginning of a love story bigger than she ever imagined?

Paige and Mike will discuss the new book before an audience Q&A and book signing.
