The Midnight Kiss Clause A Small-Town New Year's Romance

A midnight clause. A second chance. One last gala that could save Harvest Hollow. Claire Donovan has built a polished life in Boston as a practical, no-nonsense attorney, far from the small Vermont town she once loved and the man she almost married. When her beloved Aunt Lillian passes away, Claire returns to Harvest Hollow with one goal: settle the estate, authorize the sale of the historic Holloway Ballroom, and leave before New Year's Eve. But Aunt Lillian had one final surprise. Before the ballroom can be sold, transferred, or repurposed, Claire must host one last New Year's Eve celebration inside its faded walls. Even worse, the will names Jack Monroe as her required co-host. Jack is the charming local restoration contractor who has spent years quietly caring for the ballroom. He is also Claire's former almost-fiancé, the man she left behind before he could ask her to stay. Harvest Hollow is counting on the gala as the final event in its Holiday Trail campaign. After the success of The Pumpkin Spice Pact and the Halloween festival, and the national attention sparked by The Mistletoe Mix-Up and the Christmas market, the town has one last chance to prove it deserves to become a year-round holiday destination. Claire wants order, paperwork, and a clean exit. Jack wants the ballroom saved. The town wants a miracle. As snow falls, old memories surface, and the midnight deadline approaches, Claire must decide whether the future she planned is still the one she wants. Because the Holloway Ballroom may be more than an estate problem. It may be the place where love, ambition, and home finally learn how to belong together. The Midnight Kiss Clause is a sweet, emotional small-town New Year's romance filled with second chances, forced proximity, holiday charm, a historic ballroom, meddling townspeople, found family warmth, and a swoony midnight kiss.
