Midnight and Marriage
Part of the Kissing Springs Midnight Season Collaboration
Release Date: April 16, 2025 A friend’s surprise elopement in Vegas. A drunken night with my brother’s best friend. And an accidental wedding of my own. What else could go wrong? Ava Spencer, a dedicated ER doctor finishing her residency, finally has the stability she has craved since her parents died fifteen years ago. But when she and her secret crush end up participating in their friend’s shocking Vegas elopement, it leads to a drunken weekend and accidental wedding of her own that throws a monkey wrench into her carefully crafted life. Reed Campbell has been in Ava’s life forever, as a friend and through his EMT job at the hospital. His laidback charm and adrenaline-chasing habits might be her polar opposite, but he’s always felt something irresistible simmering beneath her placid surface. Their marriage wasn’t planned, but it doesn’t feel wrong. In fact, it feels so right they want to fight for it. Except the impulsive move puts Ava’s professional reputation at risk. And the small-town gossips and Ava’s brother will never support an out-of-the-blue marriage. It seems the only logical plan is to go home, keep it a secret, and “date” a while before announcing an engagement. Love-struck, they underestimate the challenges they’ll face at work and socially. Even their very natures can put them at odds. But it’s the surprise they don’t see coming that will be the final test of whether this accidental marriage can become a happily ever after. |
