Her, as in Gwen Matthews, my twin brother's best friend, the unrequited love of my life. She thinks I'm a liar and a jerk, which is why I pretend to be my brother when she needs help one night. Except that Gwen is a genius. Literally. So it doesn't take her long to figure out it's me and not my brother, but maybe, just maybe, she's willing to give me a second chance.

Three reasons I’m still single by Jayne Grandberry: 1. I’m eleven feet tall and guys are intimidated by my height… okay I’m just six foot, but you get the idea. 2. My British accent makes me sound fancier than I am. Running a business is hard work, and doesn’t leave a lot of time for dating. 3. Opening a second clothing boutique is my singular focus.
