They had both been desperate, though in different ways. Simon’s sister had been facing a months-long stay in hospital, and with her husband in England for months on business, there was no one but Simon to take in the three children — but he was an engineer on the Haast Highway project, with 130 kilometres of unsealed road and the entire spine of the Southern Alps between the ‘No Outlet’ sign near Wanaka and Simon’s road-building camp in the West Coast wilderness. For her part, Kirsty had been, quite simply, in shock, fleeing Australia in the wake of an out-of-the-blue phone call from her fiancé’s wife, who had arrived in desperate haste from Yorkshire to save Kirsty from unwitting bigamy on the very morning of the wedding. Now Kirsty knew that Simon, not Gilbert, was the man she was meant to spend the rest of her life with. But how would he react when he learned that she had lied to him from the very beginning — that she was not a widow, but instead was the notorious Runaway Bride?
