The Clockwork Heart
A Young Adult Romance about a meticulous planner whose life-and heart-gets beautifully derailed by the artist she can't schedule.
Lila knows the exact length of her future. Six weeks.
Organized, focused, and terrified of wasting time, Lila has her life planned down to the minute: early college admission, a high-powered career in economics, and a swift exit from her sleepy seaside town. When her family announces a sudden, mandatory cross-country move, she adds one final, temporary item to her checklist: a perfect, disposable summer romance.
She just didn't expect to fall for the one boy who believes in forever.
Nico is a living, breathing work in progress.
He is a messy, spontaneous artist who sees the world not in columns and dates, but in color and connection. He is everything Lila's planned future isn't, and every kiss makes her feel perfectly, dangerously unplanned. The more time they spend together, the faster her six-week plan unravels, leaving her heart vulnerable to the messy, real rhythm of love.
The clock is ticking down to the final minute.
As the moving date looms, Lila realizes the secret she's keeping isn't just about her family's relocation; it's the betrayal that the entire relationship is built on a time bomb she set. She must choose between the secure, scheduled life she always planned and the chaotic, beautiful future Nico represents.
When the timer runs out, will Lila stick to the clockwork perfection, or risk everything for the love she couldn't control?
