RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

by C. Michael Bennis

A torrid summer romance between a Parisian debutant and a Boulder, Colorado grad ends in heartbreak until they meet twenty-two years later for a final chance to reignite an unforgettable love.

Unrestrained passions and exotic locales are key elements in RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, a savvy debut by C. Michael Bennis.  With a pitch perfect prose and unforgettably naughty characters, new romance author Bennis offers a winning combination that tells of the underbelly of the advertising world and the softest sides of true love.  In the summer of 1964, two college graduates meet in a London club.  While their attraction is palpable, Nicole is engaged to the premier’s son and is Parisian aristocracy; dutiful to a fault she can’t help but fall headfirst for Alex, a Colorado native who is a little rough around the edges.  As they decide the course of their affair, Nicole comes up with the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.  Over the next nine days they agree not to fall in love and not to reveal their identities.  Reunited by chance over two decades later, the magic is still there.  One is married, one is not … both will begin to understand that love and passion endures despite time, circumstance, and reason.

“Bennis tempts and tantalizes … this narrative has enough twists and turns to satisfy a mystery lover, and the characters are endearing.” – Kirkus Discoveries
