I thought this was a really good book. Once I started it I couldn't put it down. A real page turner.
From the back of the book:
FROM UNLOVED BRIDE...
Caroline Besford will no longer be any man's pawn. Her father forced her into marriage with a man who refused to share her bed. In making her escape, Caro became Cleo--an untouched courtesan! Amazingly, the husband who ignored his plain bride is now pursuing her!
...TO ADORED MISTRESS!
But as Cleo is drawn into a web of lies and deception, she cannot deny her growing desire for her husband. And what will the colonel do when he discovers that his darling Cleo is his dowdy wife, Caroline?
