I thought my ex-husband’s twin hated me. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Blurb
After my marriage breaks down, I move to a new town to start fresh and follow my dream of being a farmer. I know my ex’s twin, Jimmy, is at uni here, but I never expected our paths to cross—especially not like this.
I’d always assumed Jimmy hated me for coming between him and his brother. But a drunken one-night stand leaves me reeling, confused about his feelings—and my own.
Jimmy isn’t the judgmental shadow of his brother. He’s caring, protective, and sees me in a way no one else has. Reconnecting with him is wonderful, but a heavy question looms: can I truly give him my heart without hurting the man I used to love?
Falling for my Ex’s Twin is a 50,000-word contemporary M/M romance between a farmer healing from a toxic relationship and his childhood friend, who shows him he deserves to be put first.
TW: mentions of a past coercive/controlling relationship.
He opens his eyes in a fluttering motion. Our stares lock. His lips are parted. I still my hands. I could bend down and kiss him and, fuck, do I want to. But I don’t move. I’m not even sure I’m breathing. Does he want me to kiss him? The blue of his eyes is intense, the ring around them darker than ever. He’s beautiful.
“Hi,” I say, because I have to break the silence somehow and ‘hi’ is more sensible than a kiss.
“Hi.”
He’s not moving. Why isn’t he moving?
“Good massage?”
He upturns his lips into a content smile. “Yeah.”
“Relaxed?”
“Uh-huh. Very.”
“Want me to keep going?”
His mouth twitches. His pupils shrink a fraction. What is he thinking?
“Or I could call for pizza,” I offer.
He shakes his head. It’s a slight movement. He raises his left hand and hooks his fingers around the back of my neck, applying a hint of pressure. I swallow, lick my lips, and answer the gentle press of his fingers by bowing my head towards him. Is he asking me to kiss him? Should I? Wanting to doesn’t make it sensible. He’s still in love with Billy, even if he doesn’t want to admit it out loud. That alone should stop me. But it doesn’t. The soft warmth of his breath on my face, and then my lips brush his, and I kiss him. He brushes his fingers over my lips and returns my kiss, his lips parting for my tongue. His breath is minty, with an underlying hint of sweetness. His lips mould against mine.
I can’t get enough of him. I want more. I don’t want to break the kiss in case it prompts him to run away. Not that he’s stopping it, either. I rest my hand over the collar of his T-shirt, risking stroking my thumb back and forth over the skin above it. He shivers and kisses me with renewed fervour. Our tongues dance, our teeth clash, our lips move in perfect synchronicity.
Somehow, he moves without breaking the kiss. He turns, so he’s kneeling upright between my legs, his arms around me, hugging me to him. I put my arms around him, resting one hand between his collar bones and the other on the small of his back. I apply pressure, closing the small gap that remained between us, so our chests and stomachs are pressed together. Does he know I’m hard now? Does he know every fibre of my being is aching for him? Because of him.
Colette’s personal love story began at university, where she met her future husband. An evening of flirting, in the shadow of Lancaster castle, eventually led to a fairytale wedding. She’s enjoying her own ‘happy ever after’ in the north of England with her husband, two beautiful children and her writing.
