Beneath the clock tower

Ka'lani Evans is ready to leave her quiet life in Savannah behind and make her mark at Clark Atlanta University. With big dreams of becoming an educator and a heart full of hope, she steps onto campus as a freshman wide-eyed, first-gen, and determined. But everything changes when she literally bumps into Elijah Carter, a charming RA with a smile that could stop traffic and secrets he keeps close to his chest.

Between late-night study sessions, homecoming drama, and unexpected heart-to-hearts beneath the clocktower, Ka'lani starts to learn that love, like college, isn't always what it seems. As friendships form, truths unfold, and feelings grow deeper than expected, Ka'lani must figure out if she's ready for the kind of love that could rewrite her future.
