A sunny burst of escapist romance THE SUN

Travel agent, Hester Monday, has been keeping a secret

Thanks to her fear of flying, she hasnt 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 wont 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

Author Bio

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David. Cressys favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesnt (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags. When she isnt writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
