No one had ever looked at her and seen perfection—until now.
Delicate, titian-haired Theresa Noble has met her father’s associates in the past, but the gorgeous, Italian-born Sandro De Lucci leaves her speechless. Eighteen months into their marriage, however, Sandro has turned to ice. Desperate to escape a relationship that has proven to be as stubbornly passionate as it is cold and hateful, Theresa summons up the courage to ask for a divorce. But before he’ll grant her request, Sandro demands something from Theresa: a son.
The stalemate sickens her. Never mind that Sandro has yet to introduce Theresa to the large family that means so much to him. Or that Theresa overhears her husband on the phone with a mystery woman. Most damning is that Theresa senses, in Sandro’s treatment of her, the behind-the-scenes machinations of Jackson Noble, her cruel father. From the depths of her anxiety, Theresa must seek an empowering truth about the husband who calls her, with such cold affection, his cara, his beloved.
Revised edition: This edition of The Unwanted Wife includes editorial revisions.
Where's the tissues????
4.5 stars, rounded up to a 5.
Decided to clean out my kindle and found this little gem.
Wow this book was good. It had me so emotional that I didn't know what to think and feel.
At some stages I was screaming in my head, "don't let that bastard touch you" and "how can you let him touch you?" As the story progressed I started to soften towards Sandro, but until the end I was very much in agreement with Theresa that she should protect her heart until she knew the truth about everything.
Lots of things in this story that I would normally struggle to get over, but managed to by the end.
I took away half a point for some spelling and grammar mistakes, but they didn't distract me too much.
Really great emotional read that sucked me in so much I stayed up until midnight to read it in one sitting. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
