She married him for a contract. She fell in love despite it. Then he accused her of selling his secrets.
Three months after their marriage fell apart, Eleanor Hart discovers she is carrying Alessandro Albrizzi’s child. Sandro wants her back at his Riviera villa—but he still believes she betrayed him.
Ellie will return for the sake of their baby, but on her own terms. She won’t trade her independence for a gilded cage, or let desire stand in for trust. And the one person who could prove her innocence is someone she has promised to protect.
As old feelings pull them closer and the evidence points in the wrong direction, Sandro must face the possibility that the betrayal came from inside his own circle. Can he uncover the truth—and earn back the woman he accused—before he loses his family for good?
The Italian’s Unforgiven Wife is a passionate second-chance romance about a marriage born in business, a love tested by betrayal and the trust it takes to begin again.

M. L. Merritt writes emotionally charged contemporary romance about accomplished women, powerful men and the irresistible moment when carefully guarded hearts surrender to love. Her stories combine glamorous settings, family loyalties, second chances, slow-burning tension and deeply satisfying happily-ever-afters.
A qualified lawyer with a professional background in strategy and leadership, she has long been fascinated by the private emotions hidden beneath polished, high-powered lives.
What began as one love story set against the beauty of the Italian coast soon became the Hart & Co Series—three connected romances following Eleanor, Zara and Amelia, the intelligent and determined women who run Hart & Co. The Italian’s Unforgiven Wife is the first book in the series, followed by The Executive’s Hostile Claim and The Protector’s Silent Oath.
Based in Sydney, Australia, M. L. Merritt is also the co-founder of a vibrant women’s tennis community and hosts tennis retreats that bring women together through sport, friendship and travel. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found on a tennis court, dreaming of her next European adventure. Her two toy poodles, Paddington and Nero, are never far away.
