The Unsuitable Wife

For eighteen years, she’s been in love with two men. Now the time has come to choose—her husband or his brother? Fifteen and homeless, Emmaline Averell makes the first of three lifechanging errors when she follows a strange man who offers her a modelling contract back to his hotel room. Trafficked from Sydney, Australia to New York City, she’s then sold to a wealthy man with a penchant for gifting young girls to his allies. Desperate and afraid, she prays for salvation, and it eventually arrives in the shape of her captor’s sons. They treat her like a princess. Their Rapunzel. Locked away. Untouched by the world they live in. Belonging solely to them. All the while, remaining ignorant to the fact their father gave her to them both. And that’s when Emmaline makes her second mistake. She falls in love with the brothers. For five years, the love triangle remains hidden, then Emmaline becomes pregnant. Edward runs. Gareth proposes. Without either man learning about her love for his brother, the choice is made for her. And, for thirteen years, her split affections remain a secret from her husband…until she makes her third mistake.
