Rowan Campbell, a Scottish college student, arrives in Charleston for a summer work exchange program, hoping to escape the pressures of his life back home in Glasgow. What he doesn't expect is to find himself lost in a new world both in the sweltering Southern heat and in the warm company of Amelia, a local girl who's as curious about him as he is about her.
Set in the 80s, Under A Thistle Moon follows Rowan's journey of self-discovery as he navigates cultural clashes, first love, and the trials of fitting into a world that feels far from home. As the summer unfolds, he must decide whether to return to the life he knew or embrace a future he never imagined.

Not Even at All
Blake is somewhat of anti-romantic, as a busy college student with a hectic life, why wouldn't she be? When a group of handsome influencers come to her home city on a work trip over the summer, she decides she wants to work with them. What the boys don't know however, is that she's only hoping to get intel for her own social media following. Initially, she comes off a bit pushy, and works to win them over... as friends of course. But as the summer goes on, one man in particular seems to have other plans, much to his friends' dismay. Throughout their work together, Blake struggles to keep things professional as he makes numerous attempts to convince her that maybe love isn't all bad... maybe not even a little bit, maybe not even at all.

But when she falls into a tight-knit circle of friends with secrets of their own, the line between enemies and something deeper begins to blur.

But on the first day of class, the past walks in wearing a blazer and heels. Dr. Sienna Ward. Her high school teacher. Her secret first love. And now-her professor. Years have passed, but the connection between them is impossible to ignore. What begins as cautious small talk becomes something deeper, something dangerous.
