Dexter Winston paced across the floor, but Hart, his twin, didn’t let
him go far. When he turned, Hart was right there, black eye flinching, a
purpling bruise on his forehead, and determination in every line of his body.
He wanted an answer.
Blocking Dex’s restless pacing, Hart said, “Quit trying to think of
reasons to refuse, will you? It’s not like we haven’t fooled people before.”
“Our family, as a joke.”
“And girls, to see if we could.”
Knowing those youthful antics weren’t among his finer moments, Dex
scowled.
“Oh gawd, don a hair shirt, why don’t you?” Hart laughed at his
reaction. “It’s not like we switched beds or anything.”
No. They’d fooled girls to see if any of them could tell them apart.
Unfortunately, they couldn’t.
Ever.
You’d think the inherent intimacy of dating a person would enable a
woman to know the difference, but . . . “We haven’t duped neighbors,” Dex
pointed out. “We haven’t duped”—he gestured—“everyone.”
“Think of it as a challenge.” Hart plopped down on Dex’s sofa and
spread his arms out along the back. These days, he was more muscular than
Dex. Harder edged. And he had those very distinguishing bruises.
It all seemed so obvious to Dex. “It’ll never work.”
“All you need to do is hang out at my place, reply to my e-mails, and
go through the snail mail, let me know about anything important . . .”
“And if you get a commission?” Dex asked. “Am I supposed to paint it
for you, too?”
“Hell no.” Hart snorted. “Not that you couldn’t, but your work is too
damn morbid. Folks would either catch on that it wasn’t me, or they’d think
I went off the deep end.”
Cursing low, Dex strode into his kitchen and grabbed a soda.
Automatically, he got one for Hart, too.
As twins, they shared not only looks, but tastes and talents, too. Either
of them could have chosen a career in writing, or art. But Hart was right—
Dex was far more somber, bordering on pessimistic. Hart enjoyed life more.
He played harder and took greater risks just for the joy of it.
The total opposite, Dex stayed holed away in his office, glued to his
computer while he created his stories. As a published novelist, he relished
his privacy.
As soon as Dex seated himself beside his brother, Hart started in on
him again.
“I have to do my training out of town. Not only is this an opportunity
to get in with an excellent camp, but SBC promoters will be visiting.”
“To hand out contracts?” Hart was a great fighter, but he wanted to be
great in the Supreme Battle Challenge.
“Possibly. I don’t know for sure. But if I stuck around here to train, the
family would show up and start badgering me for details. Joe especially.”
“Or Cole, or Chase. Somehow they always know when family stuff
goes down.” Dex shook his head. “Nothing ever stays secret with the
Winstons.”
“Even if they don’t catch on that I’m training, there’d be questions
about my bruises.”
Dex lifted his drink. “Nah. Most would figure a woman popped you
