Alec had feelings for Kylie-his best friend's sister-for as long as he could remember. No matter how hard he tried to bury them, ignore them, or push them aside, they refused to fade. At first, he told himself it was just a fleeting crush. Something that would pass with time. But time only made it worse. The more he saw her, the more he wanted her. And now, after years of keeping his emotions locked away, he had come to a realization-his feelings weren't going anywhere. So, he decided to act on them and he didn't plan on hiding. Because wanting her was no longer a choice. It was a need. But love is never simple. What starts as a quiet longing soon spirals into something deeper-something tangled between love and desire, between friendship and betrayal. Lines will be crossed. Loyalties will be tested.

At 18 years old, Hikaru Sano is a published novelist on the brink of a breakdown. Struggling with deadlines, a writer’s block that feels more like a writer’s mountain, and a growing pile of unpaid bills, Hikaru’s life is spiraling out of control. That is, until he’s forced to hire an assistant—Miyuki Hoshino, a no-nonsense college freshman who dreams of something more than just being another cog in the system. Miyuki is organized, sarcastic, and the complete opposite of Hikaru. She walks in ready to help him get his life together—if only he’d get his act together long enough for that to happen. Between surviving last-minute rewrites, chaotic deadlines, and an editor who could break a man just by typing in all caps, they find themselves stuck in an unlikely partnership. As the two spend late nights working together, an undeniable connection begins to form. But there’s a problem: both Hikaru and Miyuki are too shy, too awkward, and way too stubborn to admit their growing feelings. Add in some dark humor, a touch of romance, and a lot of writer’s angst, and you get a comedic ride through the unpredictable world of book deadlines, creativity, and finding love where you least expect it—between the lines.

They live from hand-to-mouth, covered in dirt and used however those from better families deem fit. As a result, many of them die from starvation at very young ages and those with good-looking appearances sell themselves off to better families in order to live.   While a select few resort to stealing food and taking the crumbs that fall off the table of those of noble birth.
