The Twelve-Hour Rule

By: Maria Rigou 

Fresh off a divorce and buried in work as a New York architect, Sol Acosta just wants to survive one last night of her friends’ bachelorette trip without falling apart.

Ben Kingston didn’t plan on meeting anyone. A corporate consultant with too many frequent flyer miles and too many almost-relationships, he’s in town for a Christmas Eve wedding—alone.

One chance encounter and one impulsive scuba dive leave Sol stranded in paradise. Twelve unexpected hours turn into stolen kisses, late-night confessions, and the possibility of something real.

Can a holiday fling between two people afraid to risk their hearts survive past Christmas?
