After Eighteen

Janelle Harper leaves her strict homeschool the day she turns eighteen and arrives at college with one bag and no idea what the world looks like up close. Assigned to a coed dorm, she meets her goth roommate Candice and begins to discover sex, freedom, and the sharp edge between wanting and being wanted. What starts as curiosity quickly pulls her into darker territory—possessive demands, a collar, and a man who treats her like property—while friendships and unexpected connections force her to decide what she actually wants. After Eighteen is a raw, explicit coming-of-age story about a sheltered girl learning the difference between being claimed and choosing for herself.
