Everybody has something to hide
Jude Winters is confident in one thing - she has no idea how to run a ski school. But a missing husband and mounting bills mean she's going to have to find out fast. The hard way.
Mike Cole has skied nearly everywhere in the world. Now it's time to tick Scotland off his list, before he kicks the snow from his boots and carries on with his Kiwi version of walkabout.
But things aren't always what they seem. And even wanderlust can sometimes be sated.
Standing in the hall, Jude flipped through the pile of un-opened envelopes until she found the one she was looking for. An elegant logo adorned its corner, and an expensive corporate address was printed on its back. She ripped it open and scanned the columns.
'DR'.
How can we be overdrawn? Allan had been working in New Zealand for months and the business account should have been paying in to the joint account regularly. She checked the deposits column. The only entry in it was the three hundred pounds she'd paid in for that quick book jacket job she'd done last month.
Suddenly she understood the meaning of the phrase 'her heart sank'. She walked woodenly back to the kitchen, feeling like a cylindrical hole had opened up in her chest and someone had dropped a lumpen weight into it. How had this happened? And where was all their money? Is there something Allan isn’t telling me?
