A Promising Man (and about Time, Too) by Elizabeth Young

From the fire-hot author of Asking for Trouble comes a second irresistibly funny and romantic novel, in which we meet the delightfully wicked Harriet and John, who are matched as perfectly as scones and clotted cream -- if only Harriet would let herself indulge.

Up to her eyeballs in her friends' dramas, Harriet Grey has no time for her own, let alone getting entangled with John Mackenzie. And though it's been ages since she's met one of the most gorgeous men London has to offer, it seems John's entangled with someone else. Or is he?

Though they say all's fair in love, Harriet isn't about to complicate her life -- or risk her heart. But the persistent John seems to pop up everywhere she turns, and soon she's agreeing to meet him for a cocktail to repay a favor. After all, what harm can come out of one innocent little drink? Maybe a few breathtaking kisses, some suspiciously lingering embraces, and a wonderful weak-kneed dizziness that most definitely is not the flu. And that's before she finds herself all alone with John at Christmas. .

Elizabeth Young is a new Canadian author who got the idea for her first children's book while sewing quilts and duvet coverings for her grandchildren. It wasn't enough for her to give the children quilts for Christmas; she made them even more wonderful by including a narrative that would captivate their imaginations while also encouraging the gift of reading and writing in their young minds. Elizabeth has been writing unpublished poems and short tales since she was 15, and she intends to have more of her work published in the future.
