For six months, Daniel Wright ordered the same coffee. For six months, Jamie Sullivan fell in love in twelve-minute increments.
Daniel is a management consultant with a carefully planned life: the right job, the right trajectory, dating the right women from the right backgrounds. Everything fits into neat spreadsheets and five-year plans.
Jamie is a PhD student working as a barista to pay the bills, making coffee with precision and serving customers who never bother to learn his name. He's invisible-just another service worker in a city that looks through him.
Their twelve-minute conversations become the best part of both their days. But Daniel's too scared to admit he's falling for a man, and Jamie's too used to being overlooked to believe he could be seen. When Daniel brings his girlfriend to Jamie's workplace, something breaks that can't be easily fixed.
Then Jamie quits. And Daniel realizes what he's lost.
Twelve Minutes is a slow-burn MM romance about a bisexual awakening, class differences, and the courage it takes to choose yourself. It's about being seen when you've spent your whole life invisible. About tearing up the checklist and building something real. About second chances and the twelve minutes that changed everything.
Perfect for fans of:
- Slow-burn romance with all the yearning
- Bisexual awakening and queer self-discovery
- Workplace romance (customer/barista dynamic)
- Class-conscious love stories
- Second-chance romance with groveling
- Coffee shop settings and found family
