Between Jack and Maris, the chemistry is hot enough to warrant many days and nights exploring where their mutual attraction might lead—if Maris were up for that. Being a smart girl with a rough background means she values her independence. Sex is fine, but only for a quick twenty-four hours. Making love against a ticking clock would be a problem under any circumstances—on a jet-lagged, frantic day of taking part in a Parisian wedding, Jack could really do without the added pressure. While Jack attempts to seduce Maris into submission, the emotional wedding also helps convince her to take a chance on love, proving that sometimes a day is all it takes.
