Description
A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME…Josie Fitzgerald Scott was athletic, competitive and stubborn as sin-until an accident changed her life. Now she simply sought closure with unforgettable Del Scott-the man she'd once lovingly wed, passionately bedded, then contrarily fled…. Amazingly, Del didn't recognize Josie's reconstructed contours. Yet her sexy ex-husband seemed oddly, instantly drawn to this soft, delicate "stranger," despite her new curves. Which gave Josie-as "Rose"-a second chance: to show more woo and win back Del's fierce male passion. But would limping, less than honestly, down memory lane unleash a landslide of trouble? Or-miraculously-lead Josie home to love? show lessTags

I'm a sucker for this type of story line. The masquerade bit, I mean. I'm not generally fond of 2nd chance at love stories. This one was very well done. The heroine goes back to find some sort of closure with her ex husband. She's grown up in the last 3 years especially the year since her accident. She wants to apologize for how she treated him when they were married. They married very young and didn't do a very good job of it.
When her ex doesn't recognize her, in a weak moment she doesn't tell him who she is. They become friends and she can't help but ask about his ex wife. It is very angsty as she learns what he thought of their marriage.
Of course he learns eventually who she is and they both come to an understanding of what went show more wrong in their marriage. The hero especially had to learn to accept that an equal share of the blame for the bad marriage was his. He had totally been unable to see it before. show less
