Basic Synopsis: Maki Tanaka is lazy. Really, that's it. Real Synopsis: Maki Tanaka had died after being pushed in front of the speeding truck. Without even a rest in between, he found himself transmigrated to the most innovated Otome Game of the Year called 'The Noblest of Love'. Honestly, Tanaka couldn't care less about being inside of an otome game. He couldn't care less about all the capture targets, the so-called villain, the heroine, and even less about the fact that he's supposed to be some cannon fodder for his brother, Edward, who is one of the capture targets, to step on. He just wanted to sleep dammit. After angering his father (therefore pissing off the rest of his family) with his listlessness, he was banished to Wisteria Estate on the other side of the capital separated from the main household. Which is awesome for Tanaka because he doesn't have to listen to his so-called 'family' prattle on and on about his uselessness. Even so, it seemed there are some things that he couldn't avoid... The villain for example. Tanaka: I'm sleepy... Villain: Then let me hold you in my arms while you sleep~ Tanaka: I'm hungry... Villain: Then I'll feed you~ Tanaka: I'm tired... Villain: A bath might help you relax. Just turn around and let me wash your back~ Tanaka: I'm sore... Villain: I can massage your body~ Tanaka: ...But it's your fault that I'm sore... (AN: The MC starts off as a child, so any romantic development would be in later chapters. Some innocent tofu-touching will happen early on though~)

A life altering decision that he had no recourse but to act on it at the first given opportunity. And the penalty for that choice landed him where he was, in court standing on trial for his crime. But instead of life prison; he was deemed insane by the wonderful panel of his peers and sent off to Covington Behavioral Institute to be analyzed and treated. He was supposed to spend anywhere from 10 years to the rest of his life here and Issac thought it was better than where he was coming from.

Kilan is on the run. From men he knows all too well in a forest he does not know well enough. And running into that tree didn't help. But when he wakes up, the forests are the least of his concerns. Kilan finds he has stumbled upon a castle, hidden deep in the woods, filled with servants and young masters who feel like they might just be more then they seem. And there are the thorns. Thousands upon thousands of thorns that cover the grounds and yet only cover one tower - why? And what about the dreams? The girl in the rose room? She seems so real, almost familiar, and yet he can only see her when he sleeps within the castle walls. She isn't there and he has not the time for a Sleeping Beauty. He has other things to contend himself with, in reality - in the waking world. His most prized possession is gone. A story book that means the world to him is lost within the forests - or worse, someone has their hands on it. Above all, it must be found, he has no time for a girl in dreams and the curse placed upon her - he writes fairy tales, he does not live them. He must find the book and be away from the strange Rose Castle. But someone has already noted his presence and has taken an interest in him. An interest one would not wish for. ~~~~~~ (Please Note: These books link but it is NOT ESSENTIAL that you read them in order - they stand alone as well as link together) The Rose Quartet Reading Order: Beauty and The Beast: http://w.tt/1wczujq Sleeping Beauty The Frog Prince: http://w.tt/1KphNHL Little Red Riding Hood: http://w.tt/1PBaNbs ~~~~ Cover picture by: Selene Regener Check them out: http://selenada.deviantart.com/

A rivalry about a decade old plagues the halls of Regis High School. Soccer players versus football players. The hate for each other runs deep, and it has gotten so bad, it is strictly forbidden for anyone on either teams to be friends. But what about lovers? After Ashton Little, soccer goalie, is forced into a reckless game of Dare against the football team, all he can think about is their quarterback, Daniel "Danny" Fisher. And regardless of the strained tension and unbridled hate Danny seems to have for him, Ashton can't help but fall for those cloudy blue eyes. Danny Fisher isn't gay. He isn't. There's no way. Then...why can't he stop thinking about a boy? And Ashton Little, his sworn enemy at that! Every night, Ashton's face, his voice, his body, haunts his dreams, and he feels like he's losing his mind. How could he have possibly fallen for the bitter midget with a bad attitude and a serious case of sarcasm? He wants to ignore his feelings, but after getting stuck in detention with the very source of his distress, he can't help but notice that there is a lot more to Ashton than what he thought. And it pisses him off, because it makes it harder to stay away. And to prove to himself and his team that Ashton is nothing but another soccer prick. Spin-off of Symphony of the Words Unspoken. It stands on its own, but feel free to read Symphony :)

Thirty years in the future, the human race is extinct, and all that is left is hybrids. Wanting to control the population, the government chooses a mate for every hybrid during their last year of high school. They are expected to go along with everything the government tells them, never questioning the world around them.

When paired together, they face many challenges, but somehow grow to like each other. Not everything is what it seems, though, when secrets are revealed. They must learn to trust each other in order to face the dangerous future ahead of them. Thank you @brookemcx for the amazing cover!
