I'm trying to track down a specific mills and boon book

Hi this is my first post, I apologise if I've broken any rules/stepped on any internet toes!


So this book would probably be at least from the 90's maybe maybe early 2000's.
I don't have the title, it possibly had a dark green cover.


here's what I can remember.

-husband and wife having issues
-he goes overseas for work and gets kidnapped by rebels/militants and then gets thrown in gaol.
-they lived in his house with his brother, brothers wife and kid
-brother kicks her out after the husband disapears becouse he gets given photos of a woman with long blonde hair having an affair, it's actually the brothers wife but she covers for her.
-she moves into a tiny flat, gets a job as a seamstress.
-husband returns
-theres a scene straight after he returns she trys to seduce him bt it doesnt work (she wasnt very "good" at the whole sex thing before he disapered). It's odd I remember this but it seems before he disapered she broughtbsome "Sexy" underwear and it was possibly lavander, that's what she used in her attempts at seduction
if anyone has any clue who this is by or what its called I'd be really appreciative.
thanks!
