When a hustler meets the anime geek… She wasn’t looking for love—just a way to make it through school and hold her world together. He wasn’t supposed to fall for anyone—especially not her. Halo Hendrix keeps her head down. A quiet psych major with too much on her plate and not enough peace. Bentley “Banz” Reed walks the line between the hood he came from and the future he’s fighting for. A tutoring session during spring break was only supposed to save his scholarship. But it ends up saving them both—until secrets, choices, and circumstances threaten to pull them apart. At Braxton University, love isn’t easy. But some hearts are worth the risk.
