A citywide blackout brings two strangers together—and exposes everything they’ve been avoiding.
Ethan Cole believes distance is safer than feeling. Lena Brooks believes love should never be uncertain. What begins as quiet conversations in the dark grows into something neither of them planned for—until fear pulls them apart.
When time brings them back together, Lena is no longer waiting, and Ethan must confront the cost of emotional avoidance. This time, love isn’t about sparks or timing—it’s about courage, accountability, and choosing to stay.
In the Dark is a slow-burn romance about connection, growth, and the kind of love that only works when both people stop hiding.
