Willfully Blind is a captivating exploration of love’s complexities, told through the intertwining lives of two couples each on a collision course with hard truths and emotional reckonings. Dirk Gleason, blessed with magnetic charm and effortless swagger, has always been the center of attention until he meets Lisa Wheatley, a woman immune to his appeal. Intrigued by her resistance, Dirk pursues her with intensity and eventually wins her heart. But years later, the charm fades. Dirk drifts into infidelity and emotional distance, leaving Lisa to confront the painful reality of a relationship built on illusions. If she’d seen the future sharing a condo in Chicago, unmarried, unfulfilled she might have walked away. But after one final, humiliating blow, Lisa decides it’s time to reclaim her life. Dirk’s best friend, Courtney Upton, believes he’s cracked the code to a lasting marriage. Steady, grounded, and devoted, he shares a seemingly solid bond with his wife, Daryn. But beneath the surface, cracks begin to show. Daryn, long accustomed to indulgence, justifies her excesses while brushing aside Courtney’s growing concerns. When his level-headed nature collides with her impulsive ways, their perfect union unravels proving that even the strongest love stories can fall apart. Praise for Willfully Blind"An utter rollercoaster that kept me coming back for more." Matthew P., Editor “I thoroughly and I do mean thoroughly enjoyed Willfully Blind. Redd yanked me into her world, and by the end, I didn’t want to leave. Her characters are unforgettable etched into my mind with vivid clarity. Redd puts them through everything (as every great writer should), and I closed the final page feeling deeply satisfied. 5 out of 5 stars.”
