博客來When fiercely opinionated journalist Nina Carver agrees to go on a blind date reluctantly it’s only to prove a point: that real love doesn’t exist in the age of algorithms and curated profiles. What she doesn’t expect is to be seated across from Eli Donovan, the charming yet infuriating political speechwriter who embarrassed her publicly in a live debate two years ago.
Eli, on the other hand, has no clue who Nina is or that she’s been holding a grudge ever since. To him, she’s a stunning stranger with a spark in her eyes and a wit that makes him feel like he’s known her all his life. From the moment he sees her, he’s completely taken.
Over the course of one unforgettable evening in a dim-lit downtown restaurant, secrets are exposed, assumptions are challenged, and two hearts begin to change in completely opposite directions. For Nina, the night begins with bitterness but ends with a reluctant curiosity. For Eli, it’s instant, overwhelming love. But what happens when love at first sight only strikes one side? And what if the enemy you thought you hated... might be the only one who ever truly sees you?
A slow burn of emotional twists and quiet longing, The First Look is a story of grudges, miscommunication, and the delicate, painful dance between unrequited love and unexpected connection.
