Death is just a swipe away for a widow back on the dating scene in this romantic thriller by a USA Today–bestselling author. After the death of her husband four years ago, Hartley Watson is finally ready to meet someone—and maybe even have a second chance at love. But then, just as her dating life seems to be getting started, Hartley is struck with a horrifying realization: Someone is watching her. Entering her own home. Even knows the intimate details of her life. How else to explain the strange deliveries, or the sudden appearance of mementos from her dead spouse—ones that she had kept for so long in storage? If only Hartley could know for sure whether what is happening to her is real or if her grief is making her lose touch with reality. Those around her aren’t convinced that she’s being stalked, nor is the wonderful, supportive man Hartley’s started dating. The exciting new life she has created for herself is slowly becoming a nightmare . . . How can Hartley seek protection when nobody believes that she’s at risk—and the only one in the world she can trust is herself? “I love Blind Date. This is another book that I just couldn’t put down. . . . If you want a fast read this is the one for you.” —Fresh Fiction

This true story of a young woman's remembrance of her spoiled childhood to her preteen years is told comically and includes her many shenanigans with her classmates at school and her three older sisters, who she is convinced are ruining her life. And it continues through her teenage years where she turns into a spoiled teenager. Her Dad, who is her best friend, unknowingly helps her remain the brat she is, but despite all odds, she turns into a young woman and does what she believes is the unthinkable when she asks for a blind date. While she is a deacon's kid, a missionary's kid, and a preacher's kid, she believes she is a long, tall, totally out-of-proportioned Sally and has become a hopeless basket case of zero mentally, though she is a straight A student. Meanwhile, when a blind date is successfully set up for her, she is convinced he is going to hate her or he is going to think she is ugly or vice versa. However, when blind eyes meet, surprisingly, she encounters the military man of her dreams and falls deeply in love with him. Right away, sex becomes an issue, however, at thirteen years old, she has vowed to God that she will remain a virgin until she is married. The story turns passionate while she struggles to keep her vow to God, but eventually, she revisits her stance on sex and believes God probably didn't hear her when she made a decision so young about sex, since she didn't know what it was like to be in love. However, he is a man in every sense of the word and desires a sexual relationship with her. Still, the two are confronted with many disappointments, separations, and events, both good and bad, that could have easily toppled their relationship. As a result, does he leave her because she won't have sex with him? Or...does she keep her vow to God and he agrees to wait with her? Or...does he pressure her until she has a sexual relationship with him?

The awkwardness. The anxiety. The sweaty palms. Ah, the joys of a blind date. But then there's the laughing about it afterward with friends, and doesn't that make it all better? A hilarious collection of more than 50 true stories of dates gone crazily wrong—though sometimes with a happy ending—My Blind Date Went Blind! is as much fun as sharing stories with a best friend. Here's the date who shows up with his soon-to-be ex-wife in the backseat. The date who thinks it's sexy to eat a bowl of noodles in one mouthful, tearing off the dangling ends with both hands. The date who can't pay for the $2.00 matinee when he discovers the price went up to $3.00. The forgetful woman who administers the same pop quiz—Can you spell "segue"? Who is Frank Lloyd Wright?—two dates in a row. The rabid Harry Potter fan who just won't stop calling (with updates about his therapeutic progress). And the date of the title, who loses his vision in the middle of dinner—a literal moment of hysterical blindness—and needs to be walked home. (Oh, and he wasn't able to pay the check either, of course.) With sidebars including Worst Pickup Lines Ever and Very Bad Movie Choices for First Dates, it is the perfect antidote to the dating blahs: You just have to laugh.

Loretta D’Angelo doesn’t want to get married. Being dumped by her fiancé just months before her wedding was fine with her. She loves her life as a single woman in New York City, indulging in gourmet ice-cream, getting the occasional mud-mask facial, and working for a tacky talk show that specializes in screaming and scrapping among its philandering guests. If only she could tune out her pushy family and their constant match-making attempts. Josh Kaplan has no interest in getting married, either, although maybe he ought to. He’s been with his girlfriend Melanie for years, but for some reason he just hasn’t felt the urge to pop the question. He’s busy fighting for tenants’ rights and playing chess with his elderly friend Solly, who’s got women problems of his own. Melanie is busy, too, although what she’s busy with, Josh isn’t sure. When Loretta’s job suddenly hinges on her being hooked up with a blind date on the show, Josh is the ideal foil. He has no more interest in a romance than she does. He’s got Melanie. And if Loretta pretends he’s her boyfriend, her family will get off her case. What could possibly go wrong?
