Faking Blind, Kissing Danger

Rowan wakes inside a novel as the blind husband of Victor Hale, a man whose death is supposed to put Rowan in danger. Rowan can actually see, so he pretends to be blind while trying to uncover what happened and whether Callan, his new husband, is a threat. Callan’s behavior does not match the ruthless role Rowan expects. Their uneasy alliance becomes a relationship as the mystery unfolds. Rowan uses his knowledge to escape the story’s intended ending, then chooses to build a life with Callan because he wants to—not because the novel says he must.
