Blind dates come with low expectations and polite exits already rehearsed. You sit across from a stranger, assess first impressions, and count the minutes until you can leave unchanged. Jules Adler walked into hers braced for awkward small talk. She walked out having witnessed a murder … and having been seen.

That single night alters everything.

Jules cannot picture the killer’s face. Her mind does not form images. The one detail that could identify the man responsible lives beyond her reach. Dante de Marco, the very man from that disastrous date, is the police sketch artist assigned to reconstruct what she cannot visualize. The irony is almost cruel. The worst blind date in history becomes a forced partnership under escalating threat.

The danger never drifts to the background. His presence lingers in every scene, close enough to unsettle and personal enough to feel intentional.

Yet what reached deeper was the spiritual fracture both characters carry. Grief reshaped their understanding of God. Pain convinced them He had failed them. And in the middle of rising danger comes this piercing confession: “Maybe it’s time for both of us to let go of that fake god and all our anger toward him and turn to the real One. The One who does want what’s best for us, even when it means that we have to stumble blindly through a deep, dark valley of heartbreak and grief. The One who never has left but has always been there, walking alongside us.”

That word blindly is not accidental. The story circles sight and surrender. Jules cannot see what she most needs to describe. Dante must learn to see God rightly again.

I grew genuinely attached to these two. Their forced partnership softens into trust. Their guarded hearts begin to open. The romance develops through shared danger and honest conversation, and the faith thread remains steady and sincere.

A blind date that becomes a fight for survival … and a restored vision of the one true God.
