Books like A Spanish lover by Joanna Trollope

Lizzie and Frances are identical twins whose lives hardly resemble one another. Lizzie is a confident, married mother of several children, a successful gallery owner, and a devoted homemaker. Frances, in contrast, lives separately, runs a small but prosperous travel agency, and has never sought a serious romantic partnership, leaving her family to wonder if she will remain unattached. Everything changes when fragments of formal, independent (or?) life meets a Spanish holiday. Frances impulsively travels to Spain and falls in love with Luis, a wealthy, married, Catholic Spaniard who cannot abandon his wife. The relationship ignites a newfound independence in Frances, while Lizzie’s previously stable domestic life becomes strained, threatening her marriage. Both sisters are forced to confront and reassess the roles they have adopted in their personal lives and the unique bond of sisterhood that ties them together.
