So this is Love

Cassandra Ysabelle has never believed in the kind of love that turns your world upside down. She's had flings, flirtations, and almost-relationships-but nothing that ever made her heart race or her mind spiral into the chaos of falling. For her, life has always been simple: if she likes you, she does; if not, she won't pretend otherwise. As she prepares to enter medical school, she starts to wonder: Will she ever experience the kind of love people write songs about?

Then she meets Nicolas Matthew Villanueva.

Sharp-tongued, emotionally guarded, and unapologetically himself, Nicolas is a newly out gay man still nursing the wounds of a love that shattered him. He had once braved introducing a boyfriend to his conservative family-only to be rejected. In the end, he chose to walk away from a relationship that couldn't survive the pressure of hiding and healing. He's sworn off messy feelings, especially when it comes to women. After all, he's already lived through every version of heartbreak.

But fate, timing, and unexpected connection don't care about personal rules.

What begins as an unlikely friendship between a girl who's never fallen in love and a man who's been broken by it becomes something neither of them saw coming. As their lives intertwine, Cassandra begins to feel the stirrings of something real, and Nicolas finds himself questioning boundaries he once thought were solid.

Can love be found in the most unexpected place... or person?
