Now she's writing her own. Named a Bookseller Rising Star, she's a former stage actor turned publishing insider turned novelist, currently plotting her way back into screenwriting and theatre.
tHE EXES
THE DEBUT
Natalie chose James carefully, because he's different from all the men she'd loved before. Calm. Competent. Kind.
And there are three very good reasons she needs to be so careful. Their names are Marc, Luca and George. Natalie prefers not to think about what they did to her. Let alone what she had to do to them.
Except now, on a night they are meant to be celebrating how happy they are together, Natalie and James are lying in separate bedrooms. She is asking herself how she could have been foolish enough to let yet another man hurt her like this.
Slowly, Natalie realises she’s already holding a knife. But she's not going to do anything with it. She’s not. Not again.
