Publisher's summary

An exclusive short story for World Book Day from one of our bestselling authors

Sometimes all we need is a relaxing holiday in the sun.

For Anthony and Carole, a week in a lovely Greek hotel has helped them mend the cracks in their marriage. For widowed Jessica, it’s the longest she’s ever gone without visiting her beloved husband’s grave.

However when the flight doesn’t go according to plan, they are each forced to face up to the very things they have been avoiding for so long.

By the time they land, they have learnt important life lessons about themselves and each other which change them forever.
