Michelle Alvarez has had just about enough of being overlooked. As a secretary at Hillside Junior College, she's used to juggling spreadsheets, copy machine tantrums, and professors who treat her like a holiday decoration-cheerful and invisible. So when a high-strung CEO delivers off-season tax forms in person, Michelle doesn't expect anything more than eye rolls and awkward silence.
Barry Travers lives for structure. As head of Travers & Co. Accounting, he's the type to schedule emotions between coffee breaks. But something about Michelle-her humor, her spark, her complete disregard for formality-makes him forget where he parked his logic. What begins as mild curiosity turns into an uncontrollable fascination. Soon, Barry finds himself secretly leaving Michelle anonymous gifts inspired by The 12 Days of Christmas-one quirky surprise at a time.
As the mysterious presents pile up, so does the tension between them. Bonded by a strange financial error in the college's budget, Michelle and Barry team up to uncover the truth, even as their professional boundaries blur and romantic feelings rise. But when Michelle discovers who's behind the gifts, and why Barry kept it secret, she's not sure what's worse-the betrayal, or how much she's already fallen for him.
With a little help from meddling coworkers, a nosy professor, and one suspiciously insightful assistant, Michelle and Barry must decide if love can survive outside the lines-or if their story ends with twelve awkward days and a silent night.
12 Days to You is a warm, witty romantic comedy about donuts, data, and daring to love when it's most unexpected.
