Every Time We Touch - Hardcover

by Lucy Mitchell (Author)

A unique, heart-warming romance about finding yourself and letting people in - perfect for fans of Cecelia Ahern and Kirsty Greenwood!

'A bookshop, an interesting cast of characters and a speculative element? Yes please! Every Time We Touch was a joy to read.' Laura Pearson, bestselling author of The Last List of Mabel Beaumont

Bookseller Nelly Blake has a secret. When she touches someone, she sees exactly how their love story will end. The cheating, the ghosting, the awkward letdowns in coffee shops - it's all laid bare in vivid, unwanted visions. She's seen every kind of romantic disaster and has concluded the safest option is to stay single forever. No touching. No dating. No love.

But after a brutal rent hike and her beloved Aunt Polly's cancer diagnosis, Nelly is forced to take on a flatmate to make ends meet. Enter Oliver James - bestselling romance author and recently heartbroken man hiding more than just his actual name.

Then Nelly accidentally touches him... and sees nothing. No ending. No heartbreak. No clue. And that terrifies her more than anything.

As Oliver begins to believe in love again, Nelly must decide whether to keep hiding behind endings - or risk everything for a story she can't predict.

A heartstopping romantic novel from a fresh new talent. Prepare to fall in love with Nelly and Oliver this summer!
