Storyline
Blind Desire is a high-stakes crime romance about Eleanor Battisti, the seemingly blind daughter of a ruthless mafia boss, who is forced into a political marriage with Alexander Romano, the cold and scarred heir to a rival crime family. But Eleanor isn’t who she appears to be—she’s a trained assassin sent to infiltrate and kill Alexander from within. As their relationship deepens and hidden truths about betrayal, loyalty, and Eleanor’s brother’s death come to light, she begins to question everything she’s been taught. Torn between the man she was ordered to destroy and the man she’s come to love, Eleanor must decide whether to end the war or become its deadliest weapon.
