Janette Violet Brantford has loved Adrian Winter, Duke of
Raeburn, for so long that her identical twin, Jeanette
Rose, has little trouble convincing Violet to take her
place when she decides she can no longer marry Adrian.
Telling herself she's marrying Adrian because of the huge
marriage settlement he's given her family to take care of
gambling debts incurred by her father, Violet is determined
to make their marriage a success by maintaining the façade
of the outspoken, outgoing, party-loving Brantford twin.
Adrian notices almost from the beginning of his marriage
that he's seeing a different side of the woman he believes
he's married. Going into this marriage with the realization
that he'll most likely have to rein in his high-spirited
wife, he finds himself falling in love with the thoughtful,
kind woman he's married. Violet's feelings for Adrian
deepen as their relationship continues, but their happiness
is threatened when Jeanette begins to wonder if she's
perhaps made a mistake by jilting Adrian and decides she
quite possibly wants him back!
THE HUSBAND TRAP, the first book in Ms. Warren's new Trap
trilogy, is a fun look at the twins-switching-identities
storyline. The characters are lively, the progression of
the story believable and, in the end, all get what they
deserve. I'm looking forward to reading Jeanette's story in
THE WIFE TRAP, then completing the series with THE WEDDING
TRAP.
Violet Brantford has always longed for the passionate
embrace of Adrian Winter, the wealthy Duke of Raeburn.
Problem is, he’s set to marry Violet’s vivacious, more
socially polished look-alike twin sister, Jeannette. But
when Jeannette refuses to go through with the ceremony
mere minutes before it is to begin, soft-spoken Violet
finds herself walking down the aisle and taking vows in
her sister’s place. Soon shy Violet is a high-society
wife, trying to keep her real identity a secret while
living out the fantasies of her wildest dreams.
Adrian thinks he knows exactly what he’s gotten himself
into: Jeannette may be flighty and, well, a bit self-
involved, but she’s the picture-perfect wife to carry on
the Winter name. Yet this marriage of convenience brings
the groom more than he bargained for when he finds his
sweet, innocent wife surprising him at every turn. And
though he never planned on true love, Adrian is definitely
in danger of losing his heart.
