The Polaris Clause

<p><strong>Elara Vance measures her life in billable hours and closed deals. Until a dead woman's whim sends her to the one place she can't negotiate: the past.</strong></p><p>As a ruthless Manhattan merger attorney Elara's world is one of steel glass and shattered competitors. Her only inheritance from a reclusive great-aunt is a dilapidated Vermont cabin-with a catch. To claim it she must live there for one entire month under the Polaris Clause.</p><p>Her plan is simple: endure the freezing solitude sell the asset and get back to her life. But the cabin is not empty. It's haunted by the ghost of a life she could have lived and the presence of <strong>Leo Callisto</strong> a quietly intense astronomer whose backyard observatory is an encroachment on her property and a challenge to her entire worldview.</p><p>Leo doesn't see a liability; he sees a sanctuary. He shows schoolkids Saturn's rings and finds solace in the light of ancient stars. As a battle over property lines erupts Elara is forced to confront the most hostile takeover of all: the one her heart is planning.</p><p>Under a sky ablaze with stars where meteor showers paint the night Elara must choose between the cutthroat world she built and the quiet awe-inspiring one she's found. <strong>The Polaris Clause isn't just about inheriting a piece of land-it's about rediscovering a life worth living.</strong></p><p><strong>Perfect for fans of the emotional depth of Taylor Jenkins Reid and the small-town charm of Fredrik Backman.</strong></p>
