Description:
One year
ago, two bullets from a .45 caliber pistol ripped away any hopes Dillan had of
a future with her fiancé, Jamie. On the anniversary of Jamie’s death, the
appearance of his estranged twin brother, Trey, leaves Dillan wondering what
other secrets her prefect fiancé was hiding. When Trey learns of his brother’s
death, Dillan takes pity on him and gives him a place to stay.
Trey’s
erratic behavior and a series of suspicious phone calls lead Dillan to believe
that Trey knows more about the circumstances surrounding Jamie’s death than
he’s letting on. With all leads exhausted and Jamie’s murderer still on the
loose, Trey is Dillan’s last hope for finding the truth.
Sometimes
the truth hurts… but in Dillan’s case it could kill her.
Twins
Ever since I found out
what twins were, I had always wanted one. I could only imagine the mischief
that my identical twin and I could cause. I wondered how cool it would be to
have a special bond with someone just like me. My own mother was a fraternal twin, though her
brother died during childhood. I knew a
few different sets of twins in school, (one set was in the movie “Cop and A
Half” as the “Jump Rope Twins”). Obviously I knew it would never be possible
for me to have a twin. I take comfort in
knowing that while I am not a twin, there may be another me somewhere in
another dimension. That and maybe one
day I can just clone myself.
In the meantime, growing
up, I couldn’t help but be fascinated by something I wasn’t. There tends to be a lot of mystery and myth
that surround two people that not only shared a womb came from what was
supposed to only be one egg. I wrote a
few different stories about twins when I was in middle school and I guess the
fascination with them stuck around. When the initial thoughts of Mistaken
started rolling around my brain, immediately twins came back. That’s where Jamie and Trey came from. I
imagine when Trey and Jamie were kids they pulled all the hijinks my twin and I
might have pulled had I had one. With them came questions.
What would you do if you
found out that the lover you lost had an identical twin?
What if they were the one
that was supposed to be killed instead?
Other thoughts came to
mind as the story developed in my head.
What if you start to have
feelings for their twin?
How can you be sure if you
are falling for them and not the fact that they remind you of the one you lost?
In Mistaken, these are
Dillan’s struggles. Not only does she get the shock of her life when she first
meets Trey, it also uncovers many secrets that his brother, Jamie, failed to
tell her. On top of the mounting suspicions, Dillan also finds herself
struggling with a growing bond and attraction to Trey, which only creates more
confusion in her head. There are times when he looks and acts and sounds just
like his brother. But then there are other times when he is so vastly
different.
That’s what gets me about
twins. That’s what really fascinates me. They can be so identical, but at the
same time so vastly different. Sometimes they aren’t quite opposites, but they
are never exactly the same. Even their DNA is not actually identical, according
to recent studies. Jamie was the good boy growing up, and Trey was the bad boy…
but he is a far cry from the “evil twin”.
In Mistaken, Jamie was the perfect man for Dillan, but in the end Trey
is the one that will challenge her when she thinks she has nothing left.
