Star-crossed lovers learn that practicing romance leads to the perfect happy ending in this steamy reimagining of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night.

Since heartbreak entered the scene, Juliet Wilmot, once a hopeless romantic, has sworn off love. But when she's presented with the chance to revisit romance--purely for practice--with the gorgeous, off-limits guy she keeps serendipitously running into, it feels like a sign from the universe.

Quiet, shy Will Orsino knows happily-ever-after isn't on his horizon. Problem is, for the sake of the family business, marriage is. Resigned to the inevitable, but with no confidence he can woo a wife, he can hardly say no when fate hands him the alluring, unattainable woman he keeps crossing paths with, offering to help him learn the ropes of romance.

Neither of them looking for love, Jules and Will agree they're the perfect pair to practice romance. Except that practicing to perfection leads to an irresistible attraction. Their once smitten hearts, though still twice shy, might have happily-ever-after written in the stars for them, after all.

About the Author

Chloe Liese writes romances reflecting her belief that everyone deserves a love story. Her stories pack a punch of heat, heart, and humor, and often feature characters who are neurodivergent, like herself. When not dreaming up her next book, Chloe spends her time wandering in nature, playing soccer, and most happily at home with her family and mischievous cats.

"Once Smitten, Twice Shy perfectly encapsulates everything I adore about Chloe's writing. It's witty, smart, thoughtful, and tender in turn with some deliciously fiery steam mixed in to boot. Anyone with a pulse will fall madly for Jules' and Will's love story."--Hannah Bonam-Young, USA Today bestselling author of Out On a Limb

"Chloe Liese once again shows that she is a force to be reckoned with. Her voice, viewpoint, and characters are distinct, intentional, and hopeful. Will and Jules are everything I want in a romance. Their love story is big-hearted, funny, gentle, and, of course, steaming hot. These two are what each other's hearts were missing, and it was a joy to tag along as they stumbled toward their happily ever after. I'll be holding them in my heart for a very long time."--Lyla Sage, New York Times bestselling author of Done and Dusted
