The Duplicate Bride

Hope Webb is a teacher who loves carbs and a cozy night with a good book. Her twin sister, Jackie, is a workaholic who would rather run five miles before sunrise. When Jackie asks Hope to take her place as the bride-to-be at a round of pre-wedding events, Hope is startled, though the marriage is meant to be a practical arrangement on paper. The sisters could hardly be less alike.

Hope soon finds herself among a warm, close-knit family she grows fond of quickly, and across from Brent Albright, a hotel magnate who is set to marry the woman he believes is his fiancée. He senses that something about her has changed, but he doesn't mind. The woman he now knows is funny and easygoing, and she wins over his relatives and him as well. She keeps her distance, which she blames on nerves. Brent, however, decides to court her properly and sincerely as he gets to know her better, and complications are waiting ahead.

The Duplicate Bride is the first title in the Blue Hill Brides series by Ginny Baird, a New York Times bestselling author. Each book in the series stands on its own, and the next title is The Matchmaker Bride.
