Midnight Rush (Pre-Order 04/20/2027)

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Elsie Silver comes a sizzling small-town, enemies-to-lovers romance, the second book in her new Emerald Lake series.

Parker Brandt is a woman with a plan. Finish her business degree, save her family farm, and then figure out what the hell to do with her life. Except one broody, obnoxiously handsome man keeps getting in her way.

Professor Noah Hawkins has gotten under Parker’s skin since he failed her on a technicality and delayed her college graduation. And now he’s working for Emerald Lake’s long-time mayor. The same mayor whose new construction project threatens to carve up the land that Parker calls home.

In a last-ditch effort to save Stal Brandt, Parker joins the small-town mayoral race, throwing herself back into Noah’s crosshairs.

Hating him should be easy, but he keeps showing up for her, covertly helping throughout the contentious campaign.

Heated looks linger during midnight debate practice, and Noah’s dedication to Parker’s success is so unwavering that she finds herself grappling with feelings much more dangerous than hate.

Giving into temptation is risky. Getting caught would ruin his reputation and her campaign in one fell swoop. But sneaking around has become an addictive habit—one they can’t seem to quit.

Even if it costs them everything.
