The Single You
Messy love. Impossible chemistry. Heartbreak, jealousy—and the courage to choose yourself.
Gia thought college would be about finding her place. She didn’t expect complicated feelings, irresistible chemistry, or the kind of heartbreak that forces her to decide who she really wants to become.
Set in Puerto Rico, The Single You is a contemporary romance about attraction, mistakes, second chances, and learning that sometimes the most important love story is the one you build with yourself.

Behind the pages
Hi, I’m Nina.
I’m a Puerto Rican author, middle school teacher, and mom of three. I write romance with complicated choices, real emotions, and women discovering that they deserve to be the main character in their own lives.
When I’m not writing or teaching, I’m usually reading romance or thrillers—with coffee nearby and at least one cat trying to sit on my book.
