24 Hours to Love You

Selene Brooks could not stand Stephen Wells, and he had grounds for the same. She had spent a long stretch playing tricks on him, one after another, and he was cold with her and kept count. Then she died and came back at an earlier point in her own life. Before she could make much of that, she found herself bound to a system that ran on Stephen's favorability toward her, and it paid out in life. The counter fell on its own and rose only when his opinion of her improved, so the man she liked least was the one she had to win over. Now and then the look he gave her did not seem to be only disgust. Every trick she had ever pulled on him sat in the way of the rest.
