The Other Twin
by Nan
Dixon
GENRE: Contemporary Series
BLURB:
Who can resist a neighbor in need?
Nathan Forester doesn't know the first thing about kids. So when
the daughter he never knew existed arrives on his doorstep, he needs help,
fast! His unlikely ally is next-door neighbor and single mother Cheryl Henshaw.
Nathan and Cheryl don't exactly see eye to eye, but neither can say no to a
helping hand.
Renovating Fitzgerald House is Nathan's chance to finally prove
he's no longer the unreliable twin—and it seems possible with Cheryl by his
side. Suddenly their practical arrangement has become something much more.
Trust isn't easy, but they're stronger when they work together.
Excerpt:
“If
you trust me with your key, I’ll make the bed,” Cheryl said.
“Thanks.”
Nathan was so relieved, he yanked her into a big hug.
The
bag of bedding dropped to the floor with a thump. Her arms clutched his waist.
It
wasn’t a move on his part. He was thankful for her help. But her breasts
pressed against his chest. She stared up at him, her eyes going dark.
“Let
go of my mom!” Josh stormed into the room. He pummeled Nathan’s leg with sharp
jabs.
“Hey,
slugger.” Nathan let go of Cheryl and she staggered back.
“Don’t
hurt my mom.” Josh kicked him.
“Josh,
stop.” Cheryl caught his hand and pulled him away. “Nathan was thanking me for
helping him.”
“He
touched you!”
“Not
in a bad way,” she insisted.
Nathan
slumped onto Issy’s bed. What the hell was happening? Had someone touched
Cheryl in a bad way?
“Is...is
everything okay?” Are we okay?
She
knelt next to Josh. “Apologize to Mr. Nathan.”
“He
shouldn’t touch you.” Josh stuck his chin out.
“It’s
fine.” Nathan ran his hands through his hair. He nodded at Josh. “He was
protecting you. That’s good.”
Josh
glared back.
Cheryl
looked at Nathan. “It’s never okay to hit someone.” She squeezed her son’s
shoulder in silent communication.
“Sorry.”
The kid spit the word out like it was venom.
“I
understand.” Nathan nodded. “It’s a guy thing. We have to protect our moms,
right?”
Josh
didn’t answer. Thank goodness the kid didn’t have superpowers or Nathan would
have been incinerated by the fire in his eyes.
