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.

Excerpt

“I need a drink.”

I stomp towards the opposite end of the bar from where Flynn is sitting, find a vacant stool, and wave to the bartender. When it’s my turn, I order a shot of vodka. A glance down the bar tells me Flynn is on shots, too. Copycat. I ignore the fact he got his drink first.

Angus sits beside me. I down the shot of vodka. It warms the back of my tongue and slides down smoothly. The aftertaste hits, making me grimace. I order another.

“You know vodka is depression juice, right?” Angus asks.

“Don’t care.” I down the second shot and ask for a glass of red wine. Mixing drinks is the fastest way to get drunk and fuck, do I want to get drunk.

“Are you okay?” Angus asks.

No. My mood has soured, thanks to Flynn. “Fine.”

I can’t help but glance down the bar at Flynn with his fluffy, brown hair and piercing blue eyes that used to make me swoon. He looks sinfully handsome in a close-fitting, white T-shirt and an unbuttoned overshirt.

“What’s the deal with you and Flynn?”

First Steph and now Angus. Wasn’t my explanation clear enough? “I told you. He’s my twin’s ex-husband.”

He’s also the one who got away. The first guy I ever had a crush on. The guy who made me realise I was bisexual. The guy my bastard twin knew I fancied, but chased after anyway.

“So, what? They had a messy breakup, and now you hate him? Did he break your brother’s heart?”

I stare into the large glass of red that the bartender put in front of me. From what I’ve been told, their breakup was quiet and amicable. The way Mum tells it, they ‘fell out of love’, whatever the fuck that means. “No.” I sip the wine. It’s cheap and tastes crap. Sipping it isn’t an option, so I down it in a couple of long gulps. I gesture to the barman to pour me another.

“He must have done something to get you so het up.”

“Leave it, Angus. I don’t want to talk about it.” I’ll get angry, maybe sad, and then angry all over again.

Angus raises his hands. “Okay. Tell me when you do want to talk. I’ll listen.”

Born in the heat of passion, forged in fire, and tarnished by impetuous decisions, the love that Seth and Caleb share is unstoppable.

Blurb 

Seth, always the adventurous (and often, rebellious) type, decides to explore a darker side of gay culture. He attends one of the infamous “Headbangers’ Ball” parties held several times each year by a reclusive eccentric who lives in an old farmhouse on the outskirts of town. 

Seth had no idea what “party favors” he’d be taking.

Seth’s love life—though “love” had nothing to do with any of it—had been quite active with regular meaningful, overnight relationships which were actually anything but relationships. Then, along comes Caleb, tumbling into Seth’s life at the party like a bull in a china shop. 

Could Caleb be relationship material? 

Leave it to Seth to blow things up. 

Headbangers’ Ball, Book One in the Tansy Hollow Gay Romance Series, is a happily-ever-after story which has the perfect blend of action, intrigue and sex to keep you from putting it down. Grab your copy today at Amazon, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, or wherever great gay romance books are sold. 

Excerpt 

The pizza guy watched as he filled in the tip amount. When Seth handed the slip back to him, he smiled broadly. 

“Thanks, man. You just made my night!” 

“No problem,” Seth replied. “You brought the food, so I think it was you who made my night.” 

The pizza boy looked Seth up and down. “Wish you’d make my night some other way then.” He flashed his big smile, his “come hither” face, and turned away. 

As the pizza guy eyed him, Seth suddenly remembered he wasn’t wearing anything except Caleb’s shorts. After all the shit he’d done earlier, being ogled one more time by a stranger didn’t really matter to him. The guy was totally not his type anyway. 

Seth closed the door and picked up the pizzas. The small table next to the door was a thoughtful idea, very convenient for deliveries. Seemed like Caleb ordered a lot of food delivery, if his speed dial was any indication. 

He brought the pizzas back to Caleb’s man cave, where he plopped down in his spot on the couch. Immediately, he opened a box and grabbed a hot slice. He took a double bite. He hadn’t realized how ravenous he was. 

Caleb wasn’t in the room when Seth returned with the pizza. Seth hadn’t noticed his absence until he heard the bottles clinking from across the hall. Caleb appeared in the doorway before Seth could chew up his first bite. 

“Mmm, that smells good!” 

Seth couldn’t answer. Mouth full. 

Caleb set a frosty bottle on the table next to the pizza box. He had another one for himself. 

Seth swallowed, grabbed the beer, and swigged down a big gulp. 

“Grab a slice,” he said. 

“Don’t mind if I do!” 

“Try not to get drunk again,” Seth warned. “Nothing good comes from that.” There was a cold seriousness in his voice. The unspoken issue—the elephant in the room—was made vividly clear. Caleb was glad when Seth didn’t mention the specifics. 

Caleb sat on the couch next to Seth, lifted the box lid and took a slice for himself. He bit into it. Made an approving gruff “yummy” sound to signal his approval of both the quality of the pie and Seth’s choice of toppings. 

They sat on the couch side by side, enjoying the pizza and beer. Caleb got up once to switch the music when Gravehuffer finished. They didn’t say much of anything for a while. They were just two men filling their bellies.
