Books like The Accidental Bride by Sheila Rabe
Emily Vane, the modest and unremarkable sister of the family’s beauty, Elyza, is compelled into a daring plan: she will exchange outfits with her during a masked soiree so Elyza can attend a forbidden rendezvous unseen. Emily, dreaming of becoming the belle of the ball, unwittingly becomes the target of Charles Trevor, a handsome suitor already enamored with Elyza’s glamorous appearance. After the costume swap, Charles is instantly captivated by Emily, the plain sister, and proposes to her. Torn between duty and desire, Emily faces a dilemma: should she free Charles, who is heading to the altar bound to her, or devise a scheme to win his heart before the wedding in June, turning the “wrong bride” into the right choice? The novel follows Emily’s attempts to navigate love, obligation, and identity amid the social intricacies of Regency society.
