When Ashley meets talented writer Anthony Lang, she falls in love with him at first sight. How could she not when he is everything she wants in a man -- he is attractive, intelligent, witty, and kind. The only problem--he is blind, and he feels it makes him a burden to any woman who would love him.
But Ashley is persistent. She knows that finding true love is rare, and she believes she has found it in him. If only she could make him realize that he has found his love, his chance of happiness, in her, too. Would he see reason with his heart, or has it also become as blind as his eyes?

“It happened in Nigeria,” he said. “We were there on a classified mission to gather intel on the NDV, the Niger Delta Vigilante. There were rumors that they were planning an offensive against a foreign-controlled oil operation, and we were supposed to stay quiet and only observe. One of my guys was spotted while we were on recon and was shot in the stomach. I went in to get him and got caught in the blast of the explosive device that took out my best friend. The last thing I ever saw was my buddy getting blown to pieces. After that it was just darkness and hospital noises.”
“That's horrible,” said Ashley, feeling completely helpless against the heavy mood settling over the man on her arm. “I...I don't know what to say.”
“It's okay,” he said, stopping to face her. “There's nothing anyone can say that will change what happened. I just thought, well, I don't know why, but it was important for you to know the story of how I came to be this way. The details are classified, and only my closest friends and family know the truth of it.”
They were standing so close that Ashley could feel the warmth of his breath as he spoke. He still had his hand on her arm, as though he never wanted to let go, and to Ashley it felt like an anchor holding her there on earth. Without thinking about it, she leaned into him and kissed him on the lips, letting her body fold into his.
He kissed her back, his arms closing around her, a hand holding the back of her head. She slipped her tongue into his mouth and let out a soft whimper of pleasure as he pulled her more tightly against him. She hadn't intended for this to happen, but now that it was, she felt that everything in her life had led to this very moment.
She was shocked when he pulled sharply away, his hands holding her at arm's length.
“Ashley,” he said. “I'm sorry, I can't do this. It's not appropriate for me to be taking advantage of your position as my assistant.”
