About the author

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLING AUTHOR OF UGLY AND MISTRUST

I’m a two-time New York Times bestselling author for my stand-alone books Ugly and Mistrust. To date I’ve published over 30 books!
I’m first generation Australian born and live in Sydney with my husband, two daughters and my rescue-dog, Kingston!
I love to write stories to connect my readers to my strong, courageous characters…with some spice sprinkled between the pages.
The characters I write about can pop into my mind anytime and anywhere. From the shower, to washing dishes, playing with my puppy or even in my dreams. My characters can sometimes be intrusive, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Thank you for taking this journey with me and I truly hope you love reading my stories as much as I love writing them.

Empezó bien, pero me aburrió.

¡Lo amé!

Sabie que algo iba a pasar cuando faltando menos de 50 paginas estaban muy felices todos 😭
La relacion de ambos y como no es el tipo discurso de el *prota que con todas anda, hasta que se encapricha* o la *prota insegura virgen insegura que hacen sufrir*

Me hubiera gustado leer un poco más de ellos antes de ya el ser presidente, creo que los altos en el tiempo dejan algunas preguntas. No mencionan a los papás de él (que eran los más interesados en fuera presidente) o la mamá de ella. Es como que desaparecen de la nada 👀

Ya empecé el dos, espero no me decepcione 🤩

Once again Margaret pulls us in for an enthralling read! After reading Power I thought I was prepared for Powerless... Still didn't prepare me for the twist!
Epic story, draws you in from the start right to the last page.
Well written life-love story with a tragic ending that you don't see coming even when you do...

Omg Margaret hits us with this emotional journey of Bennet and Kathryn’s story…….

If you’ve read Power, then you know Bennet was married before and his wife died 😢

WELL this is their story

A very well written and thought out book

A definite MUST read 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
