    A girl’s girl influencer gets a serious reality check when she discovers she’s fallen for her best friend’s boyfriend in this forbidden friends-to-lovers romance.

    Sofia Mendoza has had enough. She’s done watching male co-workers steal credit for her talent, and now she’s going to do something about it. No one knows she’s the brains behind a popular video series highlighting and celebrating women in history who’ve been erased from their own inventions and discoveries. Her family and friends still think she has a successful corporate job and if they discover she is supporting herself by creating social media content, they’d be stunned.

    Keeping her online persona a secret is lonely, but when she sparks a virtual friendship with an anonymous follower—A—first in her comment section with his insightful perspective, then in their private video chats, where he proves to be witty and catfish level good looking, the chemistry between them ignites.

    But when her old friend, Caitlin, arrives for a visit, Sofia’s lies threaten to unravel. A is Alex Castillo, her best friend’s boyfriend. Alex doesn’t reveal that he knows her, and Sofia realizes he may be keeping secrets, too. With their friendship now in real life, can they keep their attraction in check?
    Praise for Liana De la Rosa

    “De la Rosa presents politics and history not as lists of bills and battles, but as things that upend lives and bruise hearts…intensely dramatic.”—New York Times Book Review

    “A perfect mix of slow-burn romance, geopolitical maneuvering and sisterly antics.”—The Washington Post on Ana María and the Fox

     "Sexy, witty, timely—this is STEM romance gold! Liana De La Rosa brings all the yearning and drama of historical romance to her contemporary debut, and it’s a sight to behold. Mutual Discord is an absolute knockout!"—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author

    "Liana De la Rosa's bright, vibrant romances crackle with fierce heroines and fascinating history.”—Sarah MacLean, New York Times bestselling author

    “With the Luna sisters, De la Rosa plants a vibrant stake in the ground for more diverse stories in historical romance.”—Entertainment Weekly

    "De la Rosa is one of my favorite romance writers—with her books, I always know I'm in for lots of pining, a celebration of Latin culture, and a swoony man who is down bad for a highly competent woman."—Alicia Thompson, USA Today bestselling author

    "Mutual Discord is astute, charming, and beautifully written. De La Rosa expertly navigates love and societal commentary while masterfully reclaiming women's history. She has proven a FORCE in any category she chooses to write."—Neely Tubati Alexander, USA Today bestselling author

    “A beautifully written love letter to Puerto Rican culture and forgotten women in history with a tantalizing forbidden friends-to-lovers dynamic that readers will devour…What a triumph!”—Danica Nava, USA Today bestselling author of Love is a War Song
