Author: Mark Green
Desc: Wanted! Travel companion for all expenses paid trip to South America… Jonathan Cork has left his job rented out his flat and has two tickets for the trip of a lifetime travelling around South America. But with just days to go he’s dumped by his girlfriend Kate Thornly. Even worse a life-threatening allergy means he can’t travel alone. Unable to change the name on the spare ticket and fast running out of time Jonathan resorts to desperate measures. He advertises on eBay for a travel companion with the same name as his ex-girlfriend. The problem is it’s a complete lottery who he’ll end up with. Kate Thornly (the second) is aware of the unusual eBay auction but she can’t be persuaded to bid. Enter Maria her best friend who secretly applies on her behalf. With her nursing credentials and erotic photo Kate seems like the perfect travel companion. But there’s just one small detail Maria’s conveniently left off Kate’s bid… Told from both Jonathan and Kate’s perspectives The Travel Auction is a funny page-turning roller-coaster ride around South America.
