Setting: Colorado Territory, late 1800s

Sensuality: 7

Lily Dale is no lady. In fact, she's spent the past five years in Yuma Women's Prison for aiding and abetting a holdup. Men have been her downfall her whole life, and when she's unexpectedly paroled from prison her only goal is to return to Missouri and to her 6-year-old daughter. But someone has pulled the strings to get Lily released from jail, and that someone wants a favor in return, namely her cooperation in impersonating another woman for the next seven months. The woman a politician named Kazinsky wants her to impersonate is none other than Marian Westin, the missing wife of Colorado candidate-for-Governor, Quinn Westin. Stunned, Lily refuses but quickly learns that Quinn won't take no for an answer. Compelled to cooperate by both the threat of returning to jail and the promise of a new life for her and her daughter in Europe, Lily reluctantly agrees and begins intensive lessons acting out the role of the mysterious Mrs. Westin. Lily is quickly drawn to Quinn with an overwhelming attraction that is returned by the influential man. Despite the knowledge that Lily must disappear in seven months while Quinn goes on to govern Colorado, the two find themselves giving in to their growing love.

Lily Dale is a woman of courage and conviction, an out-of-the-ordinary heroine--a Maggie Osborne trademark. Quinn Westin is a hero powerful enough to balance Lily's strength and clever enough to value her wisdom. Combine Lily and Quinn with an entertaining plot, a dash of mystery, and plenty of steamy romance, and the result is a novel not to be missed.--Lois Faye Dyer



Product Description

Lily Dale is released early from prison under one condition: she must temporarily impersonate the wife of powerful gubernatorial candidate Quinn Westin. Lily is identical to Westin's runaway wife, Miriam. The transformation from convict to society woman goes smoothly and Quinn and Lily find themselves drawn to each other--for real. But as Lily discovers more about her "twin's" disappearance, she wonders if she can trust this man she can't seem to resist.

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of her best ever, Sep 25 2003
This book was definitely one of Maggie's best. You truly enjoy her writing AND you learn from it. Her research is interesting, her plots unique and her relationships passionate and desirable. She is incredible.

2.0étoiles sur 5 BIG DISAPPOINTMENT!, Déc 29 2001
Par "lethe2" (Freeport, New York USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
As much as I enjoyed the Bride of Willow Creek (5 stars) and the Wives of Bowie Stone (4 stars) that's how much I did NOT enjoy this one. The story is preposterous, the events are unlikely, the characters (except for Lily) are unsympathetic and even she begins to grate after a while. First she feels one way, then does a U-turn with respect to her feelings for Quinn. Quinn's secretiveness becomes absurd as the book progresses. - shades of Jane Eyre - And Paul is a total jerk. Still, the author's other books are well worth reading - I am reading "Silver Lining" at this moment. Much better.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Nice romance with a twist., Jui 21 2001
Par mirope "mirope" (Seattle, Washington) - Voir tous mes commentaires
The initial premise of this novel - that a Colorado politician somehow finds his wife's double in an Arizona prison and persuades her to imitate his mysteriously missing wife during an upcoming campaign - is so implausible that some readers are unlikely to get any further. What were this guy and his cronies doing, holding a beauty pagent in prisons around the country? If you can suspend disbelief a little and get past this initial problem, you're actually going to find a very unusual and sweet romance. I particularly liked the heroine. This was a woman who admittedly made some very poor choices in her life, but she was smart enough to realize her mistakes and take advantage of an opportunity to change her life around. Osborne has some fun with the mystery of the missing wife. The sexual and emotional tension between the two lead characters is well done, and many readers will be surprised by the ending.
