Stuck In The Middle

About the book

STUCK IN THE MIDDLE By: Beth Gelman ©2026 Lindsey Hanover is in a funk. With a college major to decide, a new home to find, and a future lurking behind it all, she’s stuck in the middle of becoming independent and relying on the help of her bosses and friends. Forced to find a therapist who "gets" her has proven a little more challenging than she thought. If her job hadn’t depended on it, she wouldn’t have cared, but she loved her marketing and web design role. She wanted more of them when she graduated, if she got that far. Life doesn’t hold back for Lindsey, no. It keeps throwing cheap shots that leave her stuck between seeking independence and being unable to afford it. When her boss offers her a rent-free bungalow, it comes with a hitch. A big, gorgeous, cocky hitch named Dane. It’s a temporary situation, at least she thinks so. Dane has plans for his career, too, and his brother’s home would be the home base for its launching site - with or without Lindsey’s interference. Lindsey’s funk continues to grow as her condition becomes clearer - Bipolar II. If Lindsey heeds her therapist's advice and her employers/friends continue to give her the support she needs, she might have a fighting chance of reaching her personal goals and finding love. Dane doesn’t need this additional hassle as he carves out the beginning of his new life. If he can last six long weeks of Lindsey’s issues, he’d be on his way. Caught between want and desire, dreams and disaster, Lindsey and Dane give each other an ultimatum that could destroy their hearts forever.
