He isn't expressive. He isn't gentle. He isn't the kind you understand in the first glance. But once his heart chooses... it chooses for a lifetime. Behind his silent eyes lives a storm he never shows. Behind his coldness hides a warmth meant for only one person. And when he loves... he loves with a depth that shakes the ground beneath you. His presence feels like a shield, his quiet care feels like a promise, and his devotion... it's the kind that touches your soul before it ever touches your hand. But what happens when a man who never bends... starts breaking all his walls only for her?

After not seeing each other for nearly eight years, Justin and Laila are suddenly forced to spend the entire summer together. Now if that's not bad enough, Justin and Laila couldn't be more opposite from each other. At first it's plainly clear to everyone that they're just not going to get along at all. But the more Justin and Laila actually get to know each other - and when they aren't fighting over something stupid - the two slowly realize that maybe there are things in life they'll need each other to figure out. If Justin is arrogant, snarky, and just a bit too handsome for his own good, then Laila may just end up going insane. And if Laila's clever, quick-witted, and beyond pretty, then God help Justin. So the same thought on both of their minds? Is this going to be the summer of a life time or what?
