Nia Brielle Carter never expected her college experience at Morgan State to include falling in love. As a plus-sized sophomore navigating self-confidence, school, and friendships, the last thing she thought she'd attract was the attention of Justin Williams, a charismatic defensive lineman from Louisiana.
Justin is persistent, but Nia isn't sure she's ready-especially since she's never been on a date, let alone in a relationship. Between awkward firsts, miscommunications, and the undeniable pull between them, Nia finds herself questioning if she's truly ready to let someone love her the way she deserves.
With the support (and teasing) of their closest friends, flirty friendships, rivalries, and campus drama, Nia and Justin's story unfolds in a way that's anything but predictable.
Will she let herself be loved, or will fear keep her from the happiness she never thought she could have?
