The Blind Date

One wrong text. One cheating ex. One unexpected connection that changes everything.

Fresh off a heartbreak she didn’t see coming, fashion school valedictorian Elise Summers is left reeling after catching her boyfriend in the arms (and lips) of someone else.

Until a total stranger, Larry, sends a mistaken text that sparks banter so funny, thoughtful, and disarmingly charming that Elise can’t help but smile. Funny, smart, and alarmingly easy to talk to, Larry becomes her virtual escape, but Elise sets firm rules: no photos, no calls, no pressure to meet. After all, trusting someone has taught her a harsh lesson: people rarely look past the surface.

But Larry doesn’t play by the rules. With every message, he chips away at her walls, and their connection deepens, intense, unexpected, and far beyond what either of them imagined.

When he finally pushes to meet in person, Elise panics, especially after a shocking revelation. But that’s only the beginning. Behind Larry’s charm lies a web of secrets, and circling them both? Elise’s “best friend” a delusional, sugar-coated, toxic force who’ll test your patience and make you cheer when the tables turn.

This is a romance that hits hard and leaves you swooning. The banter will steal your heart, the drama will keep you hooked, and the surprises will keep you turning the pages.
