BLIND LOVE BY KISHAN PAUL RELEASE DAY w/ tour giveaway
Title: Blind Love
Author: Kishan Paul
Release Date: June 2, 2015
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
She doesn’t need a hero. But a sexy Marine…that’ll work.
At twenty nine, psychologist Lauren Baxter has a successful counseling practice. Since becoming legally blind at fifteen, her world has been a blurry mess of colors. Her greatest fear is also her ultimate reality. One day that fuzzy realm will forever turn black. Refusing to let blindness define her, she builds a life for herself with her dog, Jack Sparrow, and best friend, Sunny Daye.
Lauren has no tolerance for pity or for Superman swooshing down and rescuing her. She is capable of saving herself just fine. That is until Gabe, the great smelling, former Marine, from Texas moves in next door. Her attraction to him is immediate and, unfortunately for her, mutual.
When Lauren’s ex-husband shows up begging for another chance, she is confused and fragile. She also finds herself in the arms of her secretive neighbor. Little does she realize that her decision for a steamy roll in the hay with Gabe will suck her into his mysterious past, thrust her ex-husband back into her life, put her in the middle of a murder investigation, and place her life in danger.
Gabriel Briggs has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Short term flings are all he can afford for more reasons than one – reasons he never plans to share. Until he moves in next door to the beautiful, green eyed, feisty, Lauren. One night with her and he’s reconsidering promises he made almost a decade ago. When a woman from his past is murdered, his world is turned upside down. Secrets are revealed and innocent lives are threatened. Can Gabe win Lauren’s love and save her life before it’s too late?
Product Warnings: Contains a blind therapist who doesn’t consider herself impaired; a meddling, erotic-novel-writing best friend; a hot ex-Marine with a shady past; and a loyal guide dog that howls “I love you” and is probably the sanest one of the bunch.

The banging and Jack’s barking grew louder. Lauren ran her hands through her hair and made her way down the stairs with Sunny close behind.
At the door, her best
friend leaned over her and peeked through the blinds.
“Oh Sweet Baby Jesus,
who’s that?” she whispered.
Lauren pushed her away
and blocked the entrance with her body. “If I could see, I’d tell you.”
“It’s a man. Open the
door,” she ordered and tried to pull Lauren’s hand from the knob.
“No! We don’t know who he
is,” she hissed.
“Lauren, it’s Gabe.” The
way her name sounded in the baritone voice of his had her stomach doing the
funny flipping thing again like it did yesterday in the backyard.
“Yes, Lauren, it’s Gabe,”
Sunny imitated. “Now open the fucking door.”
“Hi, Gabe. Everything
okay?” she asked, her voice huskier than she’d like.
“I heard screams. I tried
calling a couple times and when you didn’t answer, thought I’d come over and
check things out.”
“The neighbor with the
power tools?” Sunny hissed. “The man is eye candy beautiful.”
“That doesn’t mean he’s
not a rapist or serial killer,” Lauren hissed back.
Boney arms wrapped tight
around her waist, lifting off the ground and planting her a few feet away from
the entrance. Disoriented, Lauren was still figuring out which direction she
was facing when the door rattled and opened.
“Hey,” Sunny said in her
most seductive tone. After rolling her eyes, Lauren walked toward her friend’s
voice.
“Hi,” Gabe cleared his
throat. “I’m sorry, I was looking for Lauren.”
“I’m right here.”
“Sorry to bother you two.
Like I said, I heard screaming…”
“So sorry; we were having
a disagreement,” she answered before Sunny got a chance to give her
interpretation of events.
“I’m Sunny.” Her voice
sounded deep and breathy. Lauren cringed and resisted the urge to hit her.
“Hi, Sunny, I’m Gabe.”
“Nice to meet you,
neighbor with the power tools.”
“Anyway, we’re fine.
Thanks for checking.” Lauren reached over to shut the door but Sunny wouldn’t
let it go.
“How sweet. Did you hear,
Cat? He came here to see if you needed to be saved.” Since when did she start
speaking with a Southern accent?
“I don’t need to be
saved,” she muttered.
“That’s all relative now
isn’t it, sweetheart? Why don’t you come in, Gabe? I just made some fresh
coffee.”
“I’d love some. But if
you don’t mind, let me go put some clothes on and I’ll be right back.”
A few seconds after he
disappeared, Sunny blew out a breath and closed the door. “Honey, I do mind if
you put on more clothes.”
“What’s wrong with you?
You can’t let strangers into my home,” Lauren growled.
“Rule number one: When a
man who looks like him walks up in nothing but hard muscles and a thin pair of
boxers, you invite him in. Rule number two: Keep rocking those low-cut tank
tops and short biker shorts, ’cause he couldn’t keep his eyes off you.”
