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!
