Heart Strain

Holden

When I get a call that my twin brother's been shot, I'm in shock as I head back to Baltimore to be with him. Seeing him in a coma is the hardest thing I've ever had to do; sitting here not knowing whether he's going to live or die is the worst thing I can imagine. But at least Jameson is with me-he makes it more bearable, and I don't feel like I'm in this alone. With everything going on, I probably shouldn't be checking out my brother's work partner, but I can't seem to help it. Jameson's been so sweet and kind and considerate; not to mention he's so sexy I can't keep my eyes off him.

Jameson

My partner getting shot and ending up in a coma brings everything in my world to a screeching halt. He's not only my partner on the police force, but my best friend and confidant. When I see his twin brother, Holden, sitting in the waiting room, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude that he neither blames me nor pushes me away. Now I'm doing my best to take care of him and support him; if only I'd stop noticing how his emotions reflect in his eyes and wondering how it would feel to touch him.

Will the bonding that takes place during their long bedside vigils become more than they expected? Can they be honest enough with themselves and each other to take it to the next level? And if they do, will Holden be willing to sacrifice the life he loves for the brother he's kept at arm's length for almost ten years and the man who could end up being his everything?
