Book One of Katarina's Journey - Becoming an Adult
An Erotic Coming-of-Age Romance by Y.B. Shoemaker
Kat thought she was ready. After all, she'd spent her final years of high school training with the Sisterhood, submitting to her first Master, and forging bonds of power, trust, and love that would shape her forever. But stepping into college life at Banning University means stepping into a whole new world-one with fewer rules, more freedom, and challenges she never saw coming.
She arrives at her new home: a luxurious downtown condo she shares with Maria, her best friend, first love, and now Mistress. Their relationship, once tentative and playful, now holds contracts, rituals, and expectations-many of which Kat helped write. With no parents watching and no hallways to patrol, they're free to explore what it means to live as adults in a dynamic of chosen dominance and submission.
But nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
College classes push Kat's intellect. New friends tempt her boundaries. The Sisterhood sends subtle signals that Kat's story isn't hers alone-and she might be asked to serve in ways she never imagined. And then there's the invitation: a private, high-stakes gathering hosted by her Master, where Kat will serve not just him, but X. It's a test, a performance, and a gift. But is it for her?
Freshman Frolic is a sensual, emotional, and unapologetically explicit dive into the first year of freedom, responsibility, and erotic discovery. Told entirely in Kat's voice-bold, intelligent, vulnerable, and wickedly funny-it chronicles her journey not just through college, but through identity, purpose, and adult power exchange.
This novel contains explicit depictions of consensual BDSM, power exchange dynamics, polyamory, same-sex relationships, dominance and submission, discipline, and scenes of ritual service. All relationships are portrayed as ethical, consensual, and adult. This is a romance of choice, not coercion. For mature readers only.
Katarina's Journey - Becoming an Adult is a four-part erotic coming-of-age series chronicling one young woman's path through submission, scholarship, and soul-searching. From her first steps into a world of contracts and collars to the moment she claims her identity with fire and grace, Kat's journey is one of transformation-both sexual and spiritual.
