The Back Up Man

Description

A hilariously romantic tale of mishaps and matrimony, love and long shots as Anya goes in search of her Back Up Man.

Shortly after being unceremoniously dumped at a petrol station, Anya Mackie finds a pact she signed with Euan Carrick which promised they'd marry if both are still single the following decade. But Euan hasn't been seen for ten years and there's no trace of him anywhere...

After accepting the help of Jamie Kildare—another blast from Anya's past with very mysterious reasons for tracking down Euan—the pair set off to find the Back-Up Man.

But why has Euan just disappeared? Will he remember their pact? And are some things better left in the past?
