Blindsighted - Paperback

The school soccer star and unapologetic class loudmouth, Cade Riley, has been in love with academic superstar Neil Erickson for years-long before he was old enough to understand what it meant. He flirted badly. Constantly. Loudly. None of it ever quite landed.

Neil never noticed, or pretended not to.

Everything changes during their senior European train adventure when a prank goes wrong, and Cade temporarily loses his vision. For four days, he can't see the world-or Neil-at all. Neil agrees to be his guide.

What begins as an obligation turns into intimacy as they travel from Scotland through southern Italy, navigating crowded streets, quiet hotel rooms, and conversations neither of them planned. Stripped of sight, Cade finally finds the courage to say what he's always meant. And Neil, for the first time, begins to truly see him.

But attraction raises harder questions. Can Cade convince Neil he's serious enough to belong in his carefully constructed world? Do they share enough to build something real-or are their differences exactly what makes it work?

Blindsighted is a tender, slow-burning romance about perception, vulnerability, and the moment you realize the person you overlooked has been choosing you all along-stretching from Europe and back home to Nashville, where seeing each other clearly might be the biggest risk of all.
