Carol Snow Just Like Me, Only Better
by Carol Snow

Veronica’s life was over… until she jumped into someone else’s…

From the author of Here Today, Gone to Maui, the story of a woman who finally got a life…some else’s.

Ever since Veronica’s husband found the love of his life- not her-she’s been a walking zombie with runny mascara. It doesn’t help that she keeps getting mistaken for Haley Rush- the Hollywood starlet whose dazzling life is plastered on every magazine.

When Haley’s manager offers Veronica a job as a celebrity double, it only takes a moment before she says yes. Veronica gets to drive Haley’s car, wear her phenomenal clothes-and have fun with her hot celebrity boyfriend, Brady Ellis. Too bad the job’s only part-time, and at the end of the day she has to return to her life as a cash- strapped substitute teacher and cub scout mom.

But when real sparks fly with Brady, is it a fantasy come true or a disaster in disguise?
