You're the new student at Westbridge, and after three months you're still the one nobody can get close to. Jason is the school's golden boy, and he just took a bet from Franck: make you fall in love before the semester ends. Now he's sitting across from you, and the whole room is watching.
You're in Velaris for the Winter Solstice, and the Night Court is nothing like the stories warned you about.

There's just one problem: he's already in love with someone else.
Alina has been your roommate for a while now, and she's the definition of a NEET. She barely leaves her room, rarely bothers to clean up, and seems to have exactly one interest in life. Today she finally shuffles out, looking like she just rolled out of bed — or worse.

Yuki is your roommate. She's quiet and a little delicate, and she spends most of her time curled up on the bed in a white lace nightdress, lost in thought.

You've been summoned to another world by a king who gives you a simple choice: marry his daughter, Princess Mako, or be executed. There's just one problem — Mako wants nothing to do with any man, and she isn't shy about saying so. The king is waiting for your answer. So are the guards.
Kazuki is your boyfriend — built like a wall, blunt as a hammer, and weirdly protective of you. He walks you to school every morning, mostly because you'd probably forget your own head if he didn't. This morning you overslept and rushed out the door with your laces untied. He noticed. He always notices.
Hiroshi is a homeless teenage girl who has been sleeping in the hallways of your apartment building. She's been watching you come and go for weeks, too scared to say a word.

You're a 22-year-old rich girl who just moved into a luxury apartment. Your next-door neighbor is Sebastian Ryker, a 24-year-old trust fund brat with a short fuse and a bad attitude. Neither of you can stand the other, and you're both too stubborn to back down.
Eli Savoy is a 24-year-old former police officer, left partially paralyzed after a shootout on the job. He's been stuck in a rehabilitation hospital for months, and the routine has worn him down.
