Maggie Osborne brings you into a story from word one and doesn't let you go until thee very last page. This book has a really different concept from your average romance novel.
This book is wonderful by Maggie Osborne, each book including this one, A STRANGER'S WIFE is outstanding.
maggie osborne books are the best never a bad plot great for women readers who love women who win
Another wonderful book, hard to put down. Very believable characters.
I think this is my least favorite by her. I just could not get into the story at all.
good book from start to finish. i like the way it ends with a summary and doesn't leave you hanging. wonderful story about a woman who gets a change of luck and a chance to make a better life.
Love all her books, the characters are great
After 5 years in prison, Lily Dale is released early. She is offered the opportunity to impersonate the wife of the man who wants to be the first governor of Colorado Quinn Westin. Otherwise, she can go back to jail. What a choice!
Lilys face and that of Quinns wife are nearly identical. The reformation of Lily begins immediately and Lily is a quick study. No one talks about where Quinns real wife is and why she isnt by Quinns side.
Quinn soon comes aware of his attraction to Lily. Is it because she has become Miriam or because he is attracted to Lily? The new Mrs. Westin (Lily) has no such questions; shes never been around such a dynamic and confident man and shes very attracted to him.
Miriams missing status is a stumbling block between Quinn and Lily. She wants to know about her; Quinn does not want to discuss her. He becomes very angry when she poses questions.
When I first read this book a year ago, I wasnt impressed. On second reading, however, I see things I didnt see before. This is a unique and subtle book. Enjoy!

Quinn Westin is hellbound to be the first governor of the newly created state of Colorado. Lily Dale is a rough frontier woman who is newly released from prison. Will Lily aid Quinn in obtaining his dreams or destroy them forever? Maggie Osborne is a great author. I agree with Nora Roberts' description of Osborne's works. She is a storyteller who consistently delivers wit, style, and class to her readers. Very good book!
