Unforgivable - by Natalie Barelli (Paperback)

About the Book

"Your ex-wife didn't leave you because of me. She didn't abandon her little girl because of a couple of love notes in your jeans pocket. She left because she's twisted, and she wanted to punish you. And she's not finished yet. You have to believe me. If you don't there's no knowing what she'll do next... Becoming a stepmother is the best thing that ever happened to me. My favorite part of every day is picking Charlie up from school, watching her little rucksack bounce behind her as she skips over for a hug. I love the feel of those thin freckled arms around my waist. After a few rocky months of panic attacks when her mother deserted her, Charlie is flourishing. But the day Charlie's mother Bronwyn returns without warning--showering Charlie with gifts and making promises she can't keep--fear ripples through me. When I raise my concerns, no one wants to listen. I know I sound like the jealous new wife, but nothing is more important to me than Charlie's safety. Me and Bronwyn have history. We both have dark secrets in our past, and I know the dangerous lengths she will go to get what she wants. But Bronwyn doesn't know me as well as I know her. She doesn't know just how far I will go to protect that little girl..."--Page 4 of cover.
