9 Weeks of Her Life

"Do you still remember the time when you asked me why I hate her? It's because of her smile-it makes my heart beat faster. And when she laughs, I lose it. I guess I hated her for making me feel things that I didn't know I was capable of."

Summer June Santiago lives a quiet, simple life. She is reserved, disciplined, and deeply devoted to her family. Even if people in their town often look down on them, she doesn't mind. For her, what matters most is that her family stays together.

Carlisle Ventura lives the opposite kind of life. He is confident, distant, and does not care much about rules or what people think. He has never paid attention to someone like June before-until she starts to get under his skin in a way he cannot explain.

He does not like it. And he does not understand why it keeps happening every time she is near.
