Our Summer Isn’t Over

Mia, who has lived a life of deception woven entirely with lies, made a secret contract with a man, staking everything she had.

A contract with her nominal husband, Dylan LeHart.
A contract to betray her own country so that his could win the war.

The contract was successfully fulfilled, but…

“Mia Blair, you haven’t properly fulfilled the contract.”

He uttered words so absurd it was baffling.

[Party A and Party B must fulfill their marital duties and maintain their conjugal relationship through regular sexual intercourse.]

He brought up a clause in the contract that she hadn’t even bothered to consider until now.

Was the occasional kindness, affection, and even pity all part of his manipulation?

“If you don’t understand, memorize it. The fact that you and I are husband and wife.”

Consumed by betrayal, Mia vowed to make him pay dearly.

I hope you truly love me.

Because then, our final journey will be etched in my head and heart, aching for a long, long time.
