9 Days and Counting
by Red Phoenix
2012
The sequel turns that first love into an emotional reunion story. Time, distance, and sacrifice have changed everything, but the connection between the lovers has not disappeared.
In 9 Days
by Red Phoenix
2012
Tessa falls for the new boy everyone else calls a freak, a scarred teen marked by tragedy and cruel gossip. In just days, a tender first love forms around curiosity, acceptance, and the need to truly see another person.
Series background & context
The 9 Days books show a softer side of Red Phoenix. The heat is lower, the emotional tone is sweeter, and the story leans more toward first love and healing than toward the larger BDSM worlds she is best known for. Even so, the same interest in acceptance and emotional risk is right there on the page.
The series begins with Tessa and the scarred new boy at school, a teenager marked by tragedy and judged at a glance by almost everyone around him. Tessa is drawn to him anyway. What follows is a fast, emotional romance about seeing the person behind the damage and refusing to let cruelty define him.
That tenderness is the point.
The sequel shifts the tone slightly by bringing in distance, waiting, and reunion. The story becomes less about the first spark and more about whether love can survive time, separation, and the people they have become in the meantime. It is still compact, but the stakes feel bigger because the relationship has already proved it can wound as well as save.
These are short books, but they are not throwaway reads. They work best for readers who want something heartfelt and direct, with strong emotional beats and a central romance built on compassion. If you know Red Phoenix mostly from her darker or more explicit work, 9 Days is a good reminder that she also likes writing about hope in a more stripped-back way.
