The Sherbrooke Twins

#1 New York Times bestselling author Catherine Coulter’s Sherbrooke family saga continues, with James and Jason Sherbrooke.
 
James, twenty-eight minutes older than his brother, is the heir—a student of astronomy who rides like a centaur, and unlike his brother, Jason, enjoys learning the ropes of managing his father's estate. He no longer sows excessive wild oats, as his neighbor, Corrie Tybourne-Barret, a brat he’s known since she was three years old, looks forward to doing since she turned eighteen...
 
As for Jason, he swims like a fish, loves horses, wants to start a stud farm, and sows more oats than a man should be allowed—until he finally meets a girl who stops him in his tracks. Adventures compound in this “madly romantic, supremely sexy adventure” (Booklist), with rich, colorful characters and a confounding mystery.
