Healing Out Loud

HEALING OUT LOUD —
a healing-first romance

A tender, slow-burn romance about two people choosing to trade silence for healing.
When Ivy—a brilliant consultant running from her father's control and the long shadow it left—joins a new firm, the last thing she wants is attention. Ethan, the company’s guarded but charismatic CEO, believes if he uses his company to fix everyone else's problems, maybe his own won't hurt as much. 

After a panic spiral lands Ivy in the hospital, Ethan offers an unconventional idea to help her reclaim her life at work: a series of small, opt-out “workplace dares.” Visibility without pressure. Boundaries without punishment. Choice, always.

As the dares quietly rebuild Ivy’s courage, they pull Ethan toward a truth he swore he’d never face: the guilt he carries for his sister's death. On a rooftop at dusk, two people who don’t need each other to survive realize they want each other to stay. Not to fix, but to walk the road to healing--together.

Healing Out Loud is a “healing-first” romance about second chances at life, and the slow, powerful work of healing. Read Ethan & Ivy’s love story told between the silences of survival.
