The Dragon's Promise Jeanette McCarthy

Everyone has scars, but you can't always see them Ellie's scars talk to her: they warn her about the dangers of the future by reminding her of the pain of the past Griff's scars are deep inside, in a place where only Ellie can touch They fall in love on the island where, legend has it, a dragon once made a promise he could not keep... 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 that run far deeper. They meet and fall in love on a remote Scottish island, both looking for escape, and instead finding laughter and hope 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 last, best chance of redemption. "With a cast of warm wonderful Highland characters, wry Scottish humour, and a clumsy, touching love story, this is a book to warm the cockles" "For anyone who loves the wild and stunning scenery of the North West Highlands, this book will be a delight"
