The Return of Her Billionaire Husband by Melanie Milburne

The Return of Her Billionaire Husband

Their marriage was lost…

But then he walked back into her life!

Juliette is determined to forget her short-lived marriage to Italian tycoon Joe Allegranza. It began with an intense passion she’d only ever dreamed of, and ended in heartbreak. Now it’s time to go their separate ways…or is it?

Because reunited at a lavish wedding, Juliette is unable to hide from their desire, or the realization of how little she knew her husband. Drawn together by their connection, she’s torn: rekindling their spark could spell disaster, or it could make them stronger than before…

If you didn’t write, what would you do for work? 

I would either be a primary school teacher ( I am fully qualified with a Master's Degree) or a full time foster parent. 

Do you read your book reviews? How do you deal with bad or good ones? 

I read the reviews from people who I know will give a fair and reasonable assessment of my work, confident that they have taken the time to read it in its entirety. I find it destructive to read reviews from people who don't fully understand the romance genre or only read a partial. But having said that, it's not always a negative thing to read a bad review because there is often a grain of truth in what is being said. Getting too defensive can prevent you from critically assessing your own work and asking: Can I improve on my craft?

Do you hide any secrets in your books that only a few people will find? 

I try to use symbolism and motifs in my writing, so those who want to think deeply about the story can access them. But I like to make sure my book is readable for everyone, particularly for those who want pure escapism and enjoyment. 

What was your hardest scene to write? 

As  The Return of Her Billionaire Husband is a novel about a couple who experienced a stillbirth, just about every scene where the baby was mentioned was hard to write. I haven't experienced such a terrible loss myself but I have close friends who have. I often had to take a break and do something else for a couple of days to get through it.

Tell us about your book... 

As I mentioned above, Joe and Juliette Allegranza experienced a tragic stillbirth and separated not long after. They are forced to confront each other and their still achingly raw loss when they are asked to be best man and bridesmaid at mutual friends' wedding on the island of Corfu. Juliette soon realises the man she married in haste after finding herself pregnant, is a complex person with a tragic secret of his own.
