BLURB:
When Victoria is offered a scholarship to attend Thanh
Academy for her last year of university, she jumps at the opportunity. Nothing
could be more practical in her psychology studies than to travel to the other
side of the universe and live amongst the life forms she strives to learn from.
Upon her arrival, she is met with hostility. Convincing the
other students she is not like those from Earth who came before her takes time,
but eventually she is embraced by a small group of friends, including a sexy
female alien she fantasizes about on a daily basis.
Based on past experience, will Victoria keep her lust
hidden deep inside to prevent losing a friend? Or will she confess her feelings
to Kaye and possibly find her one true love?
Please note: This
story was formerly part of the First Ladylove anthology.
Short blurb: Victoria
travels to Thanh Academy to study with beings from across the universe. Can she
keep her feelings for a fellow classmate hidden, or will she risk friendships
and her scholarship to find true love?

EXCERPT:
Victoria headed to the dining hall, empty except for two greys at the
table farthest from the buffet. They eyed her and whispered to each other
behind their long, spindly-fingered hands. She grabbed what looked to be a
sandwich with purple bread and green toppings—nothing fuzzy, so she set it on
her tray and hurried back to her room. No point in sticking around where she
wasn’t wanted.
While she ate, Victoria studied the class textbook on her tablet. Their
first lab was to study various cognitive reactions to differing objects. Kaye
had already decided they were going to study the heart rate of individuals in
their reactions to various races at the school. Sure her partner just wanted to
prove how much everyone hates Terrans, Victoria agreed anyway. No point in
arguing. She’d already observed plenty of other cues indicating their disdain
for her.
Fifteen minutes before the scheduled lab time, she left, heading to the
psychology wing. The hall lights had been dimmed compared to the daytime and
gave the place an eerie glow. Though the greys had denied ever abducting anyone
from Earth, Victoria might have believed otherwise if she happened to meet one
along the way. Her pulse raced as she eyed the numbers on each door, trying to
locate the correct one.
“C’mon, already.”
Victoria gasped, placing her palm on her chest.
“Oh, come on. Don’t tell me I managed to scare a Terran.”
“My name is Victoria.” She’d had enough of being referred to by her
home planet, as if everyone on Earth was related and possessed the same
personality and motivation. “And you just caught me off guard. It’s late, and
I’m tired.”
“That’s strange.” Kaye held the door open as Victoria ducked into the
room. “I thought your kind thrived at night.”
She surveyed the area, rubbing her arms. “Not me. I just want to get
this over with and return to bed.” A wave of sleepiness washed over her at the
thought.
“Fine.” Kaye’s antennae stood straight up rather than curving forward
like they normally did. She’d lost her six inch glass claws, her exoskeleton
only covering her arms down to her knuckles like a pair of fingerless gloves.
“You go into the closet and record the results. I’ll stay out here to welcome
our test subjects and hook them up, okay?”
Victoria cocked her head to the side. For the first time since they’d
been partnered, Kaye had actually asked her opinion. “I guess.”
“It’s just that if they see you before the test, it will skew the
results. I can’t help it if everyone feels that way about your kind. It’s just
the way it is.”
With a nod, Victoria entered the cramped smaller room, not much bigger
than a broom closet. If she didn’t know any better, she would have believed
Kaye felt bad about the discrimination. Was the leabu beginning to soften? She
could only hope.
