About The Duplicate Bride:
Saying âI doâ has never been this much fun in this charming new romance from New York Times bestselling author Ginny Baird.
Â
Hope Webb canât believe her twin sister, Jackie, is begging her to swap places and play fiancĂ©e at Jackieâs pre-wedding festivities. Sure, itâs only a business-deal sort of marriage, but Hope is a carb-loving teacher who enjoys curling up with a good book. Jackie is a workaholic whose idea of a good time is a brisk five-mile run at the crack of dawn. The two sisters couldnât be more opposite.
Â
Now Hope is stuck in the middle of a warm, tight-knit family she canât help but adore and a groom who turns out to be entirely wonderful…for her.
Â
Hotel magnate Brent Albright knows something is off about his fiancĂ©e, but he doesnât care. Gone is the driven woman with similar career goals, and in her place is someone warm and funny who not only charms his family but him as well. Sheâs doing everything she can to avoid him, but thatâs probably just nerves. Two people about to wed couldnât know each other less.
Â
Now Brent is determined to woo his fiancĂ©e, for real this time, because the more he gets to know her, the more his sweet fiancĂ©e turns out to be entirely wonderful…for him.
Â
And thatâs when things start to get really complicated…

Exclusive Excerpt:
Elsa gave a short laugh, trying to downplay the situation. âBelieve it or not, Margaret here thought youâd prioritize that wedding over this one.â She rolled her eyes like the idea was absurd, and Hope wanted to melt through the floor.
Jackie needed to show up and fix this.
âNow we know thatâs not true, hmm?â Elsa grinned at Hope. âHere you are!â
âThere she is.â A dark-haired guy in a black polo shirt and khakis ambled down the drive.
Hope nearly swallowed her tongue. Brent Albright was gorgeous as a teen, but as a man? She couldnât breathe. In addition to the rugged-yet-refined-man thing he now had going, he walked with an easy stride that implied he was in command of his completely flawless body.
His smile, though…thatâs what stole her breath away.
âHello, sweetheart,â he said, gently nudging past Grandmother Margaret.
Hopeâs breath hitched when she saw his unbelievably hot mouth dropping down toward hers. Wait. Was he going to kiss her?
âBrent!â she gasped, abruptly turning away. She could not kiss her sisterâs fiancĂ©.
No matter how exciting that had momentarily seemed.
He stumbled forward, his lips landing awkwardly on her cheek while his hands grasped her shoulders. Hopeâs world turned upside down, and her heart thundered as the pressure of his kiss lingered, his scent washing over her. He smelled like sand and sea and pine…and she had to resist wrapping her arms around his neck and yanking him into the car. She broke into a sweat. This is not happening. I am not attracted to Jackieâs future husband! This was so incredibly twisted.
Not as twisted as Brent thinking she was Jackie, though. Shouldnât he have some gut-level instinct about the woman he loved and was about to marry? âSorry about the display.â His whisper tickled her ear, and tingles raced down her spine.
Not good. Not good at all.
He shot a glance over his shoulder, meant for only her, and Hope got his meaning. They were playing the loving couple for his grandmotherâs benefit. But why was it an act anyway?
She had to tell them she wasnât Jackie now. Now, before it was too late. Her sister must not have gotten in touch with Brent, but Hope could explain things.
âIn truth, Iâm…er, not…â She tried to speak, but she got caught up in Brentâs heady stare. He had very dark eyes, maybe the darkest sheâd ever seen. And, ooh, how they sparkled in the sunshine. âWhat I mean is…â
Desperate to regain her footing, she wrenched herself free of Brentâs gaze and turned to Elsa, who sat beside her in the passenger seat.
Brentâs momâs immediate acceptance of herâno, Jackieâmade her heart pound harder.
Elsa was trying so hard to be warm and welcoming, despite that fact that Hope had nearly flattened her in the driveway like a blueberry pancake.
Hope was at a total loss over what to do.
Sheâd told Jackie that this was impossible.
That she would no way in a million years impersonate her.
It was unethical and wrong.
And yet, sheâd been helplessly cornered and suddenly had nowhere to turn…

đReviewđ
Hope is compassionate, kind-hearted and there isnât anything she wouldnât do for her twin sister Jackie and that includes pretending to be her for a family get together with Jackieâs fianceâs family. She isnât sure if she is going to be able to pull off as that couldnât be more different except when it comes to their appearance.
Brent comes from an affluent family and is poised to takeover the family business and all he needs is the perfect woman to be his wife and Jackie fits the image he is looking for. Their arrangement is more merger than marriage, so although she looks like his fiancĂ©, she isnât acting like his fiancĂ©, and the feelings he is developing for her are not the ones he used to have for his fiancĂ© however he is about to find out that appearances can be deceiving.
On paper Brent and Jackie couldnât have been a better match as they are both focused on their careers but with Hope, he finds what he didnât know he was looking for.
