Lydia Young has spent her young life imitating the famous Lady Rose, a celebrity who looks just like her.  When a chance meeting brings these two women together, Lady Rose wonders whether Lydia could ever take her place.  Only a few weeks later, Lady Rose phones Lydia with a dream assignment: take her place for a luxury desert get-away!  While Lady Rose will use the week to exercise some freedom, Lydia looks forward to the week as an escape from her own life as a grocery store cashier. 

But a week of bliss is more complicated than it first appears.  Lydia’s vacation comes with an attractive and mysterious companion, sent to protect “Lady Rose”.  The animal attraction between Lydia and Kalil al-Zaki is immediate and undeniable.  But Kalil believes Lydia to be the famous Lady Rose, and has plans to use her for his own purposes.  Neither is what they appear to be, will their attraction be enough to overcome the lies?

This is a lovely and enjoyable story; perfect for a winter`s day.  Liz Fielding once again gives readers the pleasant after-glow of reading a good category romance.  Lydia is charming, and Kalil is surprisingly modern and sensitive rather than the typical arrogant desert prince.  This is a book that you will not be able to put down.
