North Shore South Shore
One of the FIRST Kickstarter successes for fiction…
Kylie Baines is a college senior by day but by night she’s Styles Baptiste, niece and unlikely right-hand-woman to Denis Baptiste, Long Island’s public enemy number one. When Styles finds herself running the family business after Uncle Denis is arrested, the last thing she needs is a visit from high school flame Matt Tracy. Or is it?
Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Girl ends up running a crime family in North Shore / South Shore.
Kylie’s life seems pretty normal. She’s a college senior who just scored an internship with one of her favorite professors. But after the school day is over, Kylie’s life is anything but ordinary. She manages her family’s empire of nightclubs and oversees clandestine deals under the alias of Styles Baptiste. And the week before Thanksgiving when Kylie should be writing essays, Styles is dodging the D.A. and trying to get her uncle out of jail.
On the day her uncle is arrested, the last person Kylie wants to reconnect with is Ben Carrick. He was always a good friend but he played for Team Matt back in high school and barely spoke to Kylie after she and Matt broke up. And what the hell was he doing at CSU? He didn’t go there. But after a happenstance (not to mention awkward) reunion, Kylie would now be adding Ben and his fiancé Siobhan to the guest list at the Loose Moose that Saturday. Whatever. As long as Siobhan doesn’t decide to extend the invitation to her twin brother Matt.
But Matt does come that Saturday. And his reappearance in her life sends Kylie into a tailspin she could’ve never prepared for. She can handle school. She can handle running the family business. She can’t handle Matt Tracy. Now Kylie has no idea who she wants to be or who she wants to be with. And even if Kylie does choose Matt, she has to get past what Matt’s father, one of the most powerful men on the North Shore, did to her.

Praise for North Shore / South Shore…
“Since I read a lot, you can tell quickly, who is a writer and who is a want to be writer. Even if a story might not be engaging to you or your style it is obvious who is talented and who is not. Again, with Kristin, you can tell that for a first book, she is no amateur. I think she is one to keep an eye on and I wish her great success.” –Joseph Edwards, Amazon
“This is a great story! Once you get into the characters, it is really hard to put this book down! I am from Long Island and went to one of the schools that the story is set at, so it is really fun to read about a place I am familiar with. If you like a good story with well developed characters, then this is a book you will truly enjoy!” –Christina Nelson, Amazon
The book also has a 4.5 star rating on Good Reads.
