Painted Blind

Seventeen years old and agoraphobic, Psyche Middleton vows her dad will never see the risqué photos she took during a summer modeling stint abroad, but one of them ends up on a billboard in her Montana hometown. Now everyone—especially her dad—can see it. And yet, somehow, those are the mundane things in her life because she is about to fall unexpectedly, head-over-heels in love with Erik, a mysterious young man who rescues her from a crowd of admirers, and who she's actually never seen because…he can make himself invisible.As strange as this may seem, it's about to get even stranger. Erik takes her to his palace in an idyllic kingdom, and she is swept into the beauty and culture of his world, but his affection has one condition: she may not see him. Overtaken, intrigued, and still not wholeheartedly believing he's real, she breaks her promise and sneaks a peek at him while he sleeps. Erik casts her aside, and his controlling mother demands Psyche prove herself in order to be reunited with him. Psyche knows love is never easy—but this is ridiculous. She is not one to give up easily, especially when she knows in her heart that Erik is the one for her, but she is going to have to decide if she can love him blindly. Because if she can't, she may lose him forever.A wild, romantic adventure that travels at breakneck speed, Michelle A. Hansen's debut is a fantastical journey filled with laughter, danger, and the indomitable power of love. PAINTED BLIND reminds us that one can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds with fortitude and a little luck and confirms that real love is worth fighting for.
