Silk and Secrets by Mary Jo Putney

Lord Ross Carlisle is a Regency aristocrat but also a successful writer about his adventures to remote places. His travels help him forget Juliet, the beautiful runaway wife he married when they were both very young.

Ross travels to Bokhara in central Asia to try to rescue Ian Cameron, his wife's brother who is imprisoned there. Near Bokhara, he meets Juliet, still beautiful, independent and headstrong. She has created a life for herself in the remote wild land. Together, as they try to rescue Ian, they discover the passion between them has not died. Now, they wonder if they can rebuild their shattered marriage.
