A hopeless unromantic gets a
crash course in love in the fourth
hilarious novel from bestselling
author Anna Maxted.
After her disaster of a marriage ends when she is just twenty, Hannah is convinced you have to be out of your mind to tie the knot. And life without a husband at thirty-one is just fine, thank you very much. She has a steady job working as a private investigator ; a devoted boyfriend of five years, Jason; and a wonderful relationship with her dad . Then, on a romantic weekend retreat to a faux-ancient castle, Jason proposes marriage, leaving Hannah with no choice but the obvious: to turn him down cold.
Much to her horror, four weeks later, Jason becomes engaged to his next-door neighbor, a fine baker and "proficient seamstress." Has Hannah blown her last chance at a solid relationship as her family claims? Jason agrees to give her another chance -- but only if she meets his terms, among them a promise to dust off the many skeletons in her closet.
Brimming with her characteristic blend of humor and heartache, Anna Maxted's Being Committed is a perceptive look at intimacy , commitment phobia, and the power others have over us.
