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 TWO:
“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.

AUTHOR BIO:
Nan Dixon spent
her formative years as an actress, singer, dancer and competitive golfer. But
the need to eat had her studying accounting in college. Unfortunately, being a

pharmaceutical company she worked for was purchased, Nan got the chance of a
lifetime—the opportunity to pursue a writing career. She’s a five-time Golden Heart® finalist and
award winning author, lives in the Midwest and is active in her local RWA
chapter and on the board of a dance company. She has five children, three
sons-in-law, two granddaughters, one grandson on the way and one neurotic cat.

ReplyDeleteTHanks Lisa,
DeleteThis is my first tour -- even though this is book number four. I think this will be a blast.
Nan
Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteHow did you come up with the concept and the characters for the story?
ReplyDeleteHi Mai,
Deletethanks for stopping by. I visited Savannah with my sisters (we have an annual sisters weekend-- but that is another long story.) I fell in love with the city and the gorgeous historic district. That got me thinking what if: What if there were 4 sisters (amazing that there are 4 sisters in my family) who owned a crumbling mansion, Fitzgerald House, in the historic district that their mother had turned into a B and B? And what if each of them had dreams beyond the B and B? Each of the couples seemed to spring to life. The characters in this book have been introduced in the previous books -- but you can still read each book as a stand alone. But I so love spending time in the world surrounding Fitzgerald House.
Hope you it enjoy it as much as I enjoy writing the series! Nan
