Blind to You

Like others who touch their soulmates, MATTEO COSTA hopes to gain the full use of his missing soul sense and meet the love of his life. It doesn’t go exactly as he hopes, and he’s found himself passed out at a soccer tournament. With no leads, he vows to stick with soccer until he determines who his soulmate is.

Years later, Matteo finds himself on the New Jersey Swamp Dragons, a top National Soccer League team, with an attractive teammate, IZAN SOLANA, who has little enthusiasm for others. 

Izan builds walls with most people and gave up on soulmates long ago, not believing they exist. Meanwhile, Matteo is plagued with insecurities and wonders how he could ever pinpoint who “the one” will be as he builds friendships in his new life. 

Will these two be able to reconcile their differences, determine if they are meant for each other, and establish a mate bond? Or will they risk their soul senses being forever broken and all that entails?
