Kissing the Wrong Twin
Book 1 of the Hidden Shores Academy series
232 pages · First published 2020
A teenage girl has a crush on Brennan Lopez, but being able to identify him would be much easier if he did not have an identical twin. Her attempts to get Brennan’s attention repeatedly involve his brother, creating confusion just as a powerful girl at school decides they are romantic rivals. Social pressure, mistaken identity, and the ordinary intensity of high-school attraction turn a simple crush into a much messier problem. This sweet academy romance keeps the conflict light and teen-focused while asking whether pursuing the person she thinks she wants will help the heroine notice who actually understands her.
