    About this ebook

    FORBIDDEN!

    Something worth fighting for!

    Sancha's first instinct was to burn the anonymous letter. Its malicious message couldn't be true: Do you know where your husband will be tonight? Do you know who he'll be with?

    Sancha adored Mark now as much as when they were first married, even though family life meant that they were no longer so close. She'd never dreamed that her tough, handsome husband would fall into the arms of another woman!

    The battle was on, though when Sancha confronted Mark, she discovered that the physical attraction between them was as strong as ever. But she wouldn't let herself be seduced by him . Not yet!

    When passion knows no reason .

    Charlotte Lamb

    Sheila Holland, known by her millions of devoted readers as Charlotte Lamb, was born just before the Second World War in the East End of London. As a child, she was moved from relative to relative to escape the bombings of World War II. On leaving school at sixteen, the convent-educated author worked for the Bank of England as a clerk. Charlotte continued her education by taking advantage of the B of E's enormous library during her lunch breaks and after work. She later worked as a secretary for the British Broadcasting Corporation. While there, she met and married Richard Holland, a political reporter. A voracious reader of romance novels, she began writing at her husband's suggestion. She wrote her first book in three days—with three children underfoot! In between raising her five children (including a set of twins), Charlotte wrote several more novels. She used both her married and maiden names, among other pseudonyms, before her first novel as Charlotte Lamb, Follow a Stranger, was published by Harlequin Mills & Boon in 1973. Charlotte was a true revolutionary in the field of romance writing. One of the first writers to explore the boundaries of sexual desire, her novels often reflected the forefront of the "sexual revolution" of the 1970s. Her books touched on then-taboo subjects such as child abuse and rape, and she created sexually confident—even dominant—heroines. She was also one of the first to create a modern romantic heroine: independent, imperfect, and perfectly capable of initiating a sexual or romantic relationship. A prolific author, Charlotte penned more than 160 novels, most of them for Mills & Boon. Known for her swiftness as well as for her skill in writing, Charlotte typically wrote a minimum of two thousand words per day, working from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. While she once finished a full-length novel in four days, she herself pegged her average speed at two weeks to complete a full novel. Charlotte Lamb passed away in October 2000 at the age of sixty-two. She is greatly missed by her many fans, and by the romance writing community.

      Don't waste your time on this book especially when you are a mother yourself. You'd definitely hate this man to pieces. Although he deny sleeping with that ow, but that doesn't mean he did not stray. And he openly admit that if his wife did not come in, he will fall in love with that ow. Oh my god. If he's a real person, I think many would like to stabbed him with a knife. ? And the HeA is too fake. Because we all know, there would definitely be another ow. Because if he really love his wife, he would not done anything to hurt her. Anything at all.

      Agree 100% with :
      ""Just awful! Damn jerk of a husband. Look honey, it is your fault that....
      His wife is responsible for his cheating?
      Allowed that witch to come into his wife's home and insult and disrespect her with their children upstairs? Taking care of three small children WILL zap you. He could have helped out and taken some of the stress off her. You know, working as a team. I got so sick of the wife making excuses for him and feeling that she bore the bulk of the responsibility for him straying....no matter the circumstances, you are responsible for your own DECISIONS. So what that he hadn't gone all the way with her? He was in her bed. Can't believe they didn't indulge in everything but ..... there is mental adultery as well as physical. And get this, lol, the ass had the nerve to try to judge his wife's sister. The ending was a joke, rushed and weak. Forgiveness and trust are not given so easily after such a horrible betrayal, especially when the side piece shows up at your house, kissing your husband. Really? Doormat of a wife. Lawlz, I hate stories like these. I do not recommend this book. I will remove this book from my library.""

      Emotional, provoking novel. I am satisfied with how the chaacters end though in their world I think they will certainly need to work on themselves.
