The Staycation

by Cressida McLaughlin (£7.99, PB, HarperCollins) Meet travel agent Hester Monday, who has a secret. She’s afraid of flying. So, when new client Jake asks her to create magical holidays abroad from his hotel room, where he’s laid up after an injury, she can do this. Only once she begins, it seems their make-believe mini breaks feel a bit too real.
