The Stand-In Bride

By DT Jones

In the dazzling world of high fashion and celebrity, Chrissy Bates has always lived in the shadow of her glamorous sister, Erica. Beautiful yet overshadowed, Chrissy has spent years in the wings, watching Erica bask in the limelight as a model and actress. While Erica effortlessly captivates attention, Chrissy has learned to be indulgent and independent, thriving for her own identity somewhere out of her sister's shadow.

But when a drunken mishap leads billionaire Harley Clements to accidentally propose to Erica at one of senate-hopeful Trevor Bates's events, the glamorous fa ade of their lives begins to unravel. Erica, arrogant and vain, sees the proposal as a means to climb up the social ladder, but Harley has other ideas. His distaste for the blonde actress has left him desperate and searching for any way possible to force Erica to break off the engagement, even if it means denying her everything she has ever wanted.

Just weeks before the wedding - Erica flees to pursue her acting career, leaving Harley free to pursue his true desire - her little sister Chrissy. However, he has to first make Trevor believe he'll ruin his chances for the senate unless he can convince his youngest daughter to step in for her sister.

When Chrissy is thrust into the role of a lifetime-her sister's stand-in bride-she is torn between her fears and the undeniable chemistry that ignites between her and Harley.
As Chrissy steps into the role of the bride, she discovers a world of opulence and privilege, but also the weight of expectations that come with it. For the first time, she feels seen-not as Erica's sister, but as an individual worthy of love and admiration. However, the path to happiness is fraught with challenges, when Erica returns and demands her fianc back.

In a whirlwind of emotions and the relentless pressure of public scrutiny, Chrissy embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Will she find the courage to step out of her sister's shadow and claim her own identity? Can love blossom in the most unexpected of circumstances, or will the echoes of Erica's anger bring an end to everything - even her sister's life?
