Making Mischief

FOUR COUSINS, TWO WEDDINGS, AND A VENUS FLY-TRAP...

Liz Young started writing after a variety of jobs that included being part of an airline cabin crew, modelling for TV commercials in Cyprus and working for the Sultan's Armed Forces in Oman. She is the author of Asking for Trouble, Fair Game, A Girl's Best Friend and, most recently, Making Mischief. She lives in Surrey.

'My God! What if they'd seen you? Wouldn't you have absolutely died?' I would, but I wasn't going to admit it. 'I wish they had!' 
 
When she stumbles on shenanigans involving Guy and the Topless Piranha, sixteen-year old Abby Morland can't resist passing on this juicy piece of gossip to her cousin, Fleur. 
 
Fifteen years down the line, when Fleur and Guy are a sparkly new item, they even joke about it. However, when the Topless Piranha comes back on the scene, evidently still with a taste for Guy flesh, it's not quite so funny. Drawn into anti-piranha tactics by the twitchy Fleur, Abby is alarmed to realize that she wouldn't mind a nibble at Guy herself. 
 
Still, there's plenty to take her mind off him. With a brother's wedding coming up, a family feud simmering in the background, mother/bridegroom tensions boiling over and a little devil thrown in, Abby's going to have her hands full mopping up bloodstains. She just hasn't counted on the little devil acting like some perverse Guy-magnet, or the ripple effects of the one disaster she never imagined. And that's even before family wedding number two...

The Wedding Date

THE WEDDING DATE - THE FILM BASED ON ASKING FOR TROUBLE...

Sophy's single and happy about it. She does, however, have an imaginary boyfriend, Dominic, a little white lie designed to keep Sophy's mother off her back. Which is fine, until his presence is demanded at a family wedding. 
 
So does Sophy admit Dominic is a fantasy? Oh no. Sophy hires an escort. But when the distinctly delicious Josh Carmichael arrives on her doorstep, Sophy can tell things are going to get tricky. And the wedding is only the beginning...

Asking for Trouble

LIZ YOUNG'S IRRESISTIBLE FIRST NOVEL ABOUT A LITTLE WHITE LIE...

...a lively Lisa Jewell-esque novel with a bit more bite than you might imagine.

Perfect comic timing and wickedly funny moments.

Fair Game

The sparkling, witty and enormously enjoyable new novel from the author of Asking for Trouble

Elizabeth Young started writing after a variety of jobs that included being part of an airline cabin crew, modelling for TV commercials in Cyprus and working for the Sultan's Armed Forces in Oman.  She lives in Surrey with a fat cat, a barmy spaniel and a saintly other half.

Caught up to anywhere you care to name with other people's dramas, Harriet has no time for her own. She certainly doesn't want to get entangled with John Mackenzie. He might be lethally attractive but he's also entangled with someone else. Nina. Nina was never exactly Harriet's best friend, but Harriet has principles. Even when she finds out what Nina once did to her, she still won't do it. Who needs two-timing trouble? Still, one naughty little night out surely won't hurt...

'Dogs are better than men, because?' 
 
So says the poster on Izzy Palmer's fridge, and she's only half joking. At a long-planned murder party, Izzy has to play scheming little tart Emerald without her boyfriend, Leo, who's let her down yet again. Cast in fiendish skullduggery with Nick, who would have been improved by a spot of murder himself, Izzy can only grit her teeth and play along. 
 
Not content with insulting her dog and telling her to hold her stomach in, Nick then has the gall to turn halfway human just as Izzy's decided she can't stand him. Still, at least he makes Leo just a little bit jealous at last, but that's all that can be said for him. Until she faces the one heartbreak she'd never imagined...
