The Semester I Fell for Her

Her Series Book 1

Sloane Francesca Paredes thought she knew what love was. She had been with her boyfriend since the last year of junior high, carrying their relationship into high school and even into her first semester of college. Three years of shared memories, promises, and dreams - until the end of that first semester, when everything came crashing down. The relationship ended, leaving her heart bruised, her trust shaken, and her idea of love in pieces.

As the new semester begins, Sloane just wants to focus on classes, friends, and herself. She isn't looking for love. Not after everything she's been through. But then there's Jules Cassandra Santiago: patient, kind, and effortlessly bright. Jules isn't the type to rush in or make grand gestures - she's steady, quietly funny, and somehow makes the chaos of college feel a little softer.

Friendship blooms first: shared laughter in the library, late-night study sessions, and small, unspoken moments that make Sloane's heart beat a little faster than it should. Slowly, she realizes that love doesn't always have to hurt. It can be gentle, safe, and entirely unexpected.
