The Lexicon of Love

He met the girl of his dreams... and immediately ruined her shoes.
Now Mike Collins has one last shot to turn the most awkward first meeting ever into the love story of a lifetime.
It wasn't the first spark Mike 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 a vibrant 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 after an unfortunate mishap.
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) until Bella drops the bombshell: she's about to leave for a life-changing backpacking trip across Australia.
Can a romance born from a perfectly imperfect beginning survive thousands of miles?
The Lexicon of Love is a charming standalone romantic comedy by Audrey Davis, perfect for fans of quirky first sparks, opposites attract chemistry, and long-distance love with a twist. If you adore heartfelt coming-of-age romance, messy family drama, and the kind of awkward first encounter you'll never forget, this is your next favourite read.
