Lake Taimana - Otago Waters - E-book - ePub

What does it take to shift deep-seated betrayal?Adele Fergus switched back to her maiden name with plans to never look back-never think about her naïve, short-lived marriage to James Montague. But that was before he turned up on her Wanaka doorstep with her missing diamonds, a crazy backstory, and persistent requests for visitation with his ex-stepdaughter. Adele's hell-bent on keeping James at arms-length, but it's not easy with old attractions still running hot.
What's more, she's beginning to suspect she may have left him on false information. Is it worth risking everything to start again? Divorce was never in James' game-plan, so when his ex-wife's jewellery comes to light, he's drawn back to her-welcome or not-and he isn't leaving until he has all the answers. The more the exes re-learn to trust each other, the more they come to realise someone was intent on dragging them apart from the very beginning.
