About Ginny

Ginny Hartman began her writing career after reading ‘How to Write a Fiction Novel in 30 days or less’ by Nicholas Black. After finishing the book, she sat down at her computer and plunked out her first novel in less than a month and hasn’t stopped ever since. But, if truth be told, she started making up stories long before her first novel was ever penned—just ask her best friend! Ginny’s favorite thing about writing is the escape it gives her and the people who read her stories. 

Besides writing, Ginny enjoys reading and spending time with her favorite people in the whole world; her husband and three beautiful children. She currently resides in North Idaho.

Here is a synopsis of Ginny's new book!

Hope Hillburn was born to a life of servitude and never once questioned her role in society. As a lady's maid to Noelle Parrish, she had everything she wanted out of life; a secure and honorable post, a decent room to call her own, and ample time to write fantastical tales of winsome creatures while her mistress, Lady Noelle, attended the various society events offered by the ton.

Lady Noelle Parrish knew that her father was anxious to see her wed but she never imagined he'd go behind her back and arrange for her to marry against her will, to a duke with a questionable reputation no less. Disheartened by the prospect of marrying a man she's never met and the possibility of foregoing a lifetime of love, Noelle makes the impulsive decision to flee England with an American gentleman she's only just met.

There's only one problem...

Lady Noelle's father, the Earl of Brattondale, would never permit her to marry an untitled American, nor was he willing to go back on his word to the duke. In her desperation, Lady Noelle convinces Hope to take her place after noticing an uncanny resemblance between them both.

Against her own better judgment, Hope agrees to take Noelle's place when she realizes there's no other way for Noelle to flee to America without causing her family disgrace. Thrown into a life she has only ever viewed from the outside, Hope must convince everyone that she is a lady lest her farce be discovered. She is confident that she can handle society's strict rules of propriety but she soon learns that guarding her heart from falling in love with an incredibly handsome, self assured duke with a penchant for snarling isn't going to be quite as easy.
