Anywhere Format: Paperback

A slow burn dark academia romance set at an elite Scottish academy, featuring stunning stenciled edges and character art on the inside cover.

Emma didn’t come to Scotland to fall in love. Arriving at Dunbridge Academy—the prestigious school where her parents met—she has one goal: uncover the truth about the father who abandoned her.

Enter Henry Bennington. Gorgeous, charming, and very taken. He’s everywhere: in her advanced classes, on her morning runs, at the midnight parties. Emma vows to keep her distance—until Henry discovers her secret mission and offers to help. She tells herself she’s only saying yes for his knowledge of the school’s history... not because of those impossible green eyes.

But when late-night research sessions turn into moonlit walks, their carefully drawn lines begin to blur. Emma knows she’s falling for him. Henry can’t deny his feelings either. And just as happiness seems within reach, fate intervenes. Now Emma has to choose: uncover the truth about her past or fight for a future with Henry—knowing either choice might break her heart.
