Description
Kacie Marie Love is the girl who's always got it together-from coding complex algorithms to hitting every mark on the dance floor. But beneath the calm exterior is a daughter grieving her mother, a young Black woman navigating a PWI, and a college sophomore trying to stay focused in a world that doesn't always see her. Xavier Quinn Allen is a campus football star with NFL dreams, but legacy isn't always a blessing. With the weight of his family's expectations on his back and a future that feels more chosen for him than by him, Xavier is stuck between the version of himself the world wants-and who he actually is. When the football and dance teams are forced to train together, their first meeting is anything but smooth. But somewhere between the early morning drills, game day sidelines, and late-night conversations under campus lights, something shifts. This isn't just about chemistry. It's about understanding. It's about healing. It's about a connection neither of them expected-but both of them need. When We Collide is a slow-burn Black college romance about grief, growth, and the kind of love that changes everything.
