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.

Being mated to some nobody shifter is the worst thing that could happen to me.

Gloria

I would do anything to get away from the farm, my family, and my small town life as an absolute nobody. The problem? I’m pretty sure everyone at Berring College can smell the sheep farm smell on me from a mile away.

All I want is to make some friends and do well enough that I don’t have to go back home a failure. Okay, maybe I have a secret dream of meeting a rich guy and convincing him to fall in love with me so I never have to be a small-town, nobody wolf shifter again.

I mean, a girl has to have dreams, right?

But every candidate I find is the kind of sleek, polished vampire who is way out of my league, and I’m pretty sure I still smell like farm animals and wolf musk, no matter how many times I shower.

And then there’s Jimmy, just the kind of small-town, nobody wolf shifter my family would love to see me settle down with. No way. I am not going to let him trap me in that life.

So, why does he have to be so hot? Why does he have to smell so good? Why does his smile make me melt, even when I’m rolling my eyes?

Jimmy

I didn’t really come to college to get a degree. In fact, I think everyone in my pack will be shocked if I survive a full year of classes. Would it be nice to prove some people wrong and actually succeed? Sure, but I’m not getting my hopes up. I’m really here to make sure my sister stays out of trouble. So here I am, dressed as a moving guy and ready to play the part.

But then I meet my sister’s roommate, Gloria, and suddenly I have a reason to try harder. Gloria is gorgeous and smart and perfect. She may not know who I am, but she figured out right away that she’s too good for me. Maybe if I work hard to keep up with her in classes, though, and maybe if I help her to fit in at these parties where she sticks out like a sore thumb, maybe she’ll decide to give me a shot.

I’ll lose everything if I give in to my desire, so why am I drawn to him like a moth to a flame?

Marcus

My senior year, I made a deal with the devil. Or, my father, as he’s commonly known. I get to spend my first year of college pretending to be a regular guy, making friends with “the walking blood bags,” as some vampires call them, and experiencing a tiny bit of freedom before I step into place as my father’s presumptive heir. The price? I have to play nice with the other well-bred vampires on campus–a den of snakes I learned to hate a long time ago–and no more boys.

So, of course, the universe sends me the worst kind of temptation in the form of a roommate who’s cute, sweet, and full of life despite being technically as dead as me. I can’t afford to make mistakes, so I have to keep my distance. I won’t let my desire for Devon ruin my last chance at freedom.

Devon

My senior year, I realized I’m bi, met a guy I thought would change my life, and ended up dying in a grungy alley behind a club. Ever since I became a vampire, all I’ve wanted is to start over and figure out what my life after death looks like.

And then I lay eyes on my smoking hot, dark and broody vampire roommate.

My first impulse is to tear his clothes off and bend him over the counter in our dorm kitchen, but I’m a nobody, fresh-turned vampire, and he’s rich enough to have actual minions. Maybe I can look, as long as I don’t touch?
