Lily Reyes is trying to win the fight against depression. Well, more or less — childhood trauma makes her believe the world is too cruel to live in.
In Lily's world, everything makes as much sense as breathing underwater. Yet, as she's preparing her goodbyes, Lily makes one little mistake.
She accidentally leaves her notebook for him to find.
Colin Carter is the captain of St. Trewery's hockey team, a man who offers more than just good looks. He's facing struggles of his own, ones he feels too guilty to talk about. And yet...
Lily's life now lies in his hands.
In only nine days, he flips her whole world upside down. Feelings become involved, hearts are broken, mistakes are fixed, and old passions are rediscovered.
But will that be enough? Will nine days change everything? Will nine fun days convince Lily that there is more to life than pain and sorrow?
