Altered Paths

Jamie

In one moment, I found the man of my dreams. In another moment, I lost him.

Without Cooper, my world was fractured, and I made sure his twin brother knew it. I unleashed all my pain onto Caiden, ignoring the fact that he wasn't to blame. Afterwards, I spent three years pretending I'd moved on, pretending that I'd left the past behind me. I became so good at it. No one saw the heartbroken man behind the mask.

Until one phone call brings Caiden back into my life, seeing him again opens old wounds, forcing us both to be painfully honest and making me question everything I believe about love.

Caiden

Cooper isn't just my twin; he's my best friend and a better person than I could ever be.

I regret all the choices I made that hurt him, but none so much as the ones that led to the worst night of our lives. For three years, I punished myself until it all became too much, and I made a decision that I hoped would bring me closer to him. Instead, it only brought Jamie Durand back into my life.

I've tried to hate him ever since he and Cooper fell hopelessly in love, but I never could. Because secretly, even though it made me a terrible brother, I wanted Jamie to look at me the way he did Cooper. Now he's back in my life, and there's something between us that neither of us can deny.

Only, it's very possible we'll both end up hurt again, and I'm not sure either of our hearts can take that.
