A quirky standalone romantic comedy about a word-obsessed plumber's apprentice, a disastrous first meeting and a long-distance leap of faith. Coming-of-age British romcom with banter, eighties bangers and opposites-attract charm.
He Met The Girl Of His Dreams. Then He Ruined Her Shoes.
It wasn't the first spark Mike Collins had in mind, but fate had messier plans.
At twenty-two, Mike is a plumber's apprentice with a secret passion for words. Romance? Not really his thing. Until an eighties tribute night in a small Scottish town lands him, quite literally, at the feet of the captivating Bella, leaving her shoes in need of urgent attention.
Awkward? Absolutely. Forgettable? Not a chance.
Bella is smart, free-spirited and just as obsessed with obscure words as Mike. Soon they're trading cheesy pop anthems, ridiculous vocabulary games and more banter than a Scrabble board can handle. It feels like a match made in Heaven (17). Then Bella drops the bombshell: she's leaving for a life-changing backpacking trip across Australia.
Can a romance born from a perfectly imperfect beginning survive ten thousand miles?
The Lexicon of Love is a standalone romantic comedy, for readers who love disastrous first meetings, opposites-attract banter, long-distance love and Scottish small-town charm. Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Beth O'Leary and Sophie Kinsella.
