They fall in love on the island where,
legend has it, a dragon once made
a promise he could not keep…

 
 
 
RECENT REVIEWS

“With a cast of wonderful, warm, highland characters, wry Glaswegian humour, and a clumsy, touching love story, this is a book to warm the cockles.

Bring your tissues, because this book will have you crying with laughter.”

“For anyone who loves the wild and stunning scenery of the North West of Scotland, this book will be a delight.”



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 




 

The Dragon’s Promise is a comic romance in which
the unlikely star-crossed lovers are Griff, a
disillusioned Hollywood writer, and Ellie,
facially scarred after a car crash, but with
emotional scars running far deeper.
 
They meet and fall in love on a remote Scottish
island, both looking for escape, and instead finding
hope and laughter.
 
But when circumstances conspire to drive them apart,
Ellie wanders from place to place, job to job,
trying to forget, and extracting as much joy and humour
from life as she can.
 
  And Griff searches for her from Los Angeles
across Europe, knowing she is his best chance
of redemption.
