Love In The Dark: A Holiday Romance for Grown-Ups

By Scarlet Ibis James

When the lights go out, the truth comes on.

Two weeks before Christmas, a fierce blizzard traps Marissa and Gregory Parker in their Connecticut home. With no power, no distractions, and no way to outrun the silence that has grown between them over twenty years of marriage, they are forced to confront the distance. Marissa has already packed divorce papers. Gregory has already resigned himself to the quiet.

But what neither expected was a night that strips away their defenses, forcing honesty, tenderness, and the fragile possibility of choosing each other again.

As the storm deepens, so does the truth: long-term love takes work, courage, and the willingness to start over at forty-something. Trapped in the dark, Marissa and Gregory must decide whether their story is over or if a second chance is still waiting to be found.

A warm, grown-up holiday romance featuring Black love, mature second chances, and the slow rebuilding of trust, Love in the Dark is perfect for readers who crave stories about real relationships, emotional intimacy, and genuine repair.

"I absolutely loved this story Scarlet delivers a heartfelt, authentic tale of two souls rediscovering love." - N.G. Peltier, author of Sweethand.
