Welcome to Berring College, where vampires, shifters, and humans live together while trying to figure out life and love and everything else.
Life can be hard. Growing up can be hard. Sometimes, falling in love is the hardest thing of all.
Every book in the Berring College series features two characters who are still trying to figure out their place in the universe. They all have a guaranteed happily ever after and can be read as standalone novels, though some of the characters' stories overlap from book to book.
Pack Bound
A Berring College Prequel
He wants to do his duty. She has other plans.
Greyson
I know I’m not meant for anything big. My older brother has destiny written all over him. Me? I just want to get far enough from my father’s influence as Pack Leader that I can figure out what to do with my life.
Meeting Aster is exactly what I need to help me down that path, but she doesn’t seem to feel the same about me. Then, my world is turned upside down and I realize I might be a lot closer to destiny than I thought.
Can I step up to carry the burden I’ve been given? Or should I leave it for someone who I know is better suited to it than me?
Aster
One last shot. That’s what I promised my sister. I will open myself to the possibility of love one more time, and if it doesn’t work out, I’m leaving for good. I can’t stick around in a pack where every single thing is a reminder of pain and failure. And I won’t let myself be destroyed like I was in my last relationship. I’m older now. Wiser. I’m definitely too strong to let myself be beaten down day after day by reminders of my tragic past.
While I’m carrying too much baggage from my past, Greyson doesn’t seem to have a past at all. I want to hate him for his carefree life, but I promised to give him a proper chance, so that’s what I’ll do.
Why is it so damn hard to open myself up to someone?
Wolf Bound
Blood Bound
Berring College Book 1
Berring College Book 2
He would do anything for her. She doesn’t want anything from him.
Gloria
I’ve got big plans for my life.
Go to college.
Meet a rich guy.
Get him to marry me so I never have to go back to my pack’s farm and see another sheep in my life.
You know what I don’t have time for? Lazy, townie, nobody werewolves who think they can coast through life and into my bed.
Though . . . it can’t hurt to look as long as I don’t touch . . . right?
Jimmy
I’m a simple guy, with simple wishes.
Keep my adoptive sister safe while she’s in school.
Enjoy myself as long as I can before my father calls me home to do my duty.
Avoid making a fool of myself in college courses that are way over my head.
And then I meet Gloria, and my whole life is turned on its head. Gloria doesn’t think she needs anything from me, but I’m sure I can find some way to prove my worth to her before she finds some other guy she likes more than me.
He wants to give him everything, but he has nothing to give.
Devon
A few months ago, the worst thing that could happen to me, did happen to me. Now? I’m trying to move on with my life . . . or . . . afterlife . . . as a vampire. And between college classes and college parties, I’ve almost forgotten how much I hate the taste of blood and miss the taste of pizza.
What I absolutely can’t forget is what an epically bad idea it is to lust after my roommate, Mr. Tall, Dark, and Brooding.
Maybe just one time won’t hurt anything?
Marcus
I’ve grown up knowing exactly who pulls my strings and exactly where my life is headed. My father sees college as an acceptable detour for me to take on my way to taking over his legacy, but I see it as my last gasp of freedom before allowing the oppressive family business to smother me.
And then I meet my roommate, who is happy and outgoing and exudes life from every pore, even though he’s dead like me.
I know that Devon has no place in my father’s plans for me. I know that I should toe the line to keep the people I care about safe.
But, no matter what I do to stay away from Devon, things keep pulling us together.
Can’t I have what I want just this once, as long as no one finds out?
