Create a romantic and emotional book cover for a college lesbian romance novel titled CASCADING HEARTBEATS: A Journey of Love, Resilience, and Self-Discovery. The scene should feature a serene college campus in Georgia during autumn with vibrant falling leaves. In the foreground, two young women stand side by side, subtly holding hands: Ava, a confident Black computer science student with curly hair, wearing casual jeans and a cozy hoodie, and Mei, a thoughtful Asian business student with long straight hair, dressed elegantly in a tailored coat. The mood should evoke love, strength, and hope, with soft golden lighting. Include the title in bold, elegant serif typography and the author's name, Priyanshu Ranjan, in a stylish but subtle font.
