Dancing in The Dark

Told in dual POV, Dancing in the Dark is a story about longing, self-sabotage, emotional resilience, and the slow, painful beauty of learning to stay—even in the dark.

Maddie Parker, now in the thick of her residency at Sunfalls General, is juggling high-stakes ER shifts, lingering doubts about her worth, and increasing scrutiny from a new hospital director. Jason Hawthorne, still healing from years of emotional turmoil, is searching for steady ground—both personally and professionally—while carrying the weight of his fractured family.

As the two grow closer, their relationship deepens through late-night conversations, domestic tenderness, and undeniable chemistry. But beneath it all lies a storm of old wounds, guilt, and shame that threatens to pull them apart.

When a devastating misunderstanding at Chris and Alicia’s wedding sends Maddie reeling, she’s left heartbroken, questioning everything they’ve built. Jason, struggling with self-worth and haunted by the fear that he’ll ruin the best thing he’s ever had, makes a decision that could break them for good.
