Taylor Barkley is marrying the man of her dreams--only he doesn’t know it.

Why? Because the heroine of my recently completed novel, The Bridegroom Trap, has switched places at the altar with her identical twin sister. Set in England in 1816, the character-driven story is a 105,000 word historical romance. Fun and sensual, the book weaves lies with love, treachery with truth, teaching two people the ultimate meaning of honesty, passion, and
devotion.

Shy, scholarly Taylor Barkley has never enjoyed the stellar social success of her beautiful twin sister, Claudette; often she’s so tongue tied in public she can barely speak. Resigned to her wallflower existence and her unrequited love for her sister’s fiancé, Jack Summerville, she expects to end up
a spinster. Then fate steps in to shake up her life when her twin refuses to marry her rich, handsome, powerful bridegroom only hours before the wedding. Plagued by the knowledge that Claudette's defection will mean social and financial ruin for their family, and tempted beyond measure by the chance to marry the man she adores, Taylor agrees to trade identities with
her twin. Now, she must keep society, and more importantly her husband, from guessing the truth. Otherwise, she risks losing everything she holds most dear.

Worldly and influential, Jack Summerville, Sixth Duke of Raebury, knows he must marry to secure his lineage. Without considering love--a fool’s illusion, he believes--he chooses the most poised and polished of the Season’s debutantes for his bride. Only after the engagement is official does he begin to suspect his fiancée may be playing him false with another man. Unable to prove her infidelity though, he’s honor bound to proceed with the wedding. He thinks he knows what to expect of his new bride, only she surprises him with her undeniable innocence, her sweet spirit, and her love.
Who is this woman he doesn’t quite recognize and how will he stop himself from losing his heart?
