Everyone is born with a countdown on their wrist - a silent clock ticking toward the moment they'll meet their soulmate. Most people wait with excitement. Some with dread. And some, like Evelyn "Eevee" Gordon, stop believing the timer means anything at all.
At twenty-nine, Eevee is a single mom trying to rebuild her life after a night she doesn't remember changed everything. Her soulmate timer is background noise - a cruel reminder of a promise she no longer believes she's allowed to want. She's focused on her two year old son, on stability, on moving forward. Not love. Not fate.
Until a trip to Target and a flying toy send her crashing into a stranger's arms... and her timer hits zero.
Spencer Carter is a famous YouTuber with a loyal fanbase and a carefully curated image. The last thing he expects while shopping for towels is to meet his soulmate - especially not one who bolts the second their names are exchanged. But something in her eyes won't let him forget. And something in his heart won't let him walk away.
As Spencer searches for the girl with pain in her eyes and a toddler in tow, Eevee wrestles with the truth she's tried to outrun - that maybe soulmates aren't about perfection. Maybe they're about timing. Trust. And the kind of love that makes room for scars.
Until The Clock Stopped at You, is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, forgiveness, and the courage to believe that love still finds you - even when you don't believe you deserve it.
Navigating teenage life is hard enough-- an older brother who doesn't have his life together, parents that never seem to be around the house, adventuring with the BEST friend in the world, meeting the cute boy who just moved in down the street --all while trying to be "normal." For Eva May, normality in this day to day life is anything but possible.
Eva was born with a curse, or as the world would see it (if they even knew), a gift. Above the head of everyone she sees, she can see a countdown. A clock ticking down the years, days, hours, minutes, seconds until they die. As Eva interacts with people and sees people interact with each other, she can watch the rhythm of their clocks slow or quicken depending on what is going on. A day can turn sour when she sees a clock with only a few hours left, or can turn into a celebration when she slows or stops the ticking of someone's timer.
In "expired," Eva meets Clay Walker, the typical boy next door who loves his dad, bikes, and adventures with no direction. As Eva gets to know Clay, she notices something is a bit off with his clock: the more she befriends him, the faster it goes. How can Eva try and help Clay, and what will happen as their relationship develops and his time starts ticking down?
