Deliciously escapist fiction from the bestselling author of the Cornish Cream Tea series.


‘A gorgeous, sweep-you-off-your-feet slice of escapism’ RED magazine


‘Unashamedly romantic, funny and touching’ MY WEEKLY


‘A sunny burst of escapist romance’ THE SUN



Travel agent, Hester Monday, has been keeping a secret …


Thanks to her fear of flying, she hasn’t been on a plane in years. Now Hester wants to make a good impression on her newest client, Jake Oakenfield, who was heroically injured saving an old lady, and is now laid up in a luxury hotel.
For Jake, unable to return to New York, binge watching Netflix just won’t do. He wants Hester to invent the ultimate escape and re-create her most magical holidays abroad from the confines of his hotel room.
As their perfect mini-breaks around the globe take on a life of their own, Hester wonders if her world of make-believe is all starting to feel just a little too real…
