Dani Clayton has just taken a step she never thought she'd be able to make. At eighteen, she packed up all her belongings and left her stifling and uncomfortably familiar life full of expectations of marriage proposals, young motherhood, and an eternity of Iowan cornfields. Leaving home with nothing but a shabby suitcase and a threadbare duffle bag, Dani embarks on the most life-changing and evolutionary experience of her young life as she moves to the United Kingdom, enrolls in University, and begins a life that is quintessentially her own.
Along the way she'll discover her academic passions, deep friendships, and a certain beautiful young woman who has her questioning everything about herself.
Follow Dani for all her Ups & Downs & All Arounds of her experience at the University of St Andrews.

Ms Chambers
A slow-burn WLW dark romance exploring the blurred lines between power, desire, and identity. When Naomi Bennett returns from a year abroad, she's ready to start fresh - new course, new friends, new version of herself. Psychology was never part of the plan, but it's hers now... even if her parents still wish she'd studied law instead. Then comes Ms Chambers. Beautiful. Unreadable. Dangerous in ways Naomi can't quite put into words. A woman who owns every room she walks into - including the lecture hall. Naomi doesn't like her. She's too confident. Too composed. Too... something. But for someone she supposedly can't stand, Ms Chambers is increasingly hard to ignore. The tension is quiet, precise - threaded through loaded glances and careful silences. It's just in Naomi's head. Isn't it? As boundaries blur and obsession simmers beneath the surface, Naomi begins to question everything - what she wants, what she knows, and who she really is beneath the version of herself she's always performed. Because some lessons don't stay in the classroom. ⚠️ Content / Trigger Warnings: (Please avoid reading if any of the following may affect you.)

When he meets Zane, an eccentric friend of his roommate, his entire earth is turned on its axis and the life he thought he wanted vanishes. Zane opens his eyes to a world of freedom full of lust and sin. And for the love of all things holy, he likes it.Complete
