Fade In by M. Mabie
Contemporary Romance
Tatum Elliot is a successful writer on a hit television show, lives in an Upper East Side apartment and loves her life. She wouldn’t change a thing. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have a choice. She's losing her sight.
Tripping over her tongue and her heels, Tatum all too quickly realizes that the things which appeared so important before are slowly slipping away leaving room for what really matters. With the support of her best friends, family and colleagues, she begins to see that there’s much more to life… and herself.
When Ben Harris enters her life as her new personal assistant, she can’t tell if it’s his good looks and charm that are working on her libido, or his kind and helpful nature working on her heart? Whatever it is, neither one of them can resist it.
As her vision fades out, a world of love and happiness just might…Fade In.
Fade In is a contemporary-romance novel about laughing through your tears and telling life to, quite frankly, “Suck it.” This novel contains sexual situations that the author may or may not have tried at home… for your safety, of course. Research is research.

"You looked really pretty this morning."

"I don't know. I was

I blush. "You're
picturing me? What am I
wearing?" I laugh to myself,
thinking that the cliché question is suppose to be "What are you wearing?" But we're in his imagination and I'm eager to
know what he keeps there.

He makes a humming sound that vibrates all the way through me. "You really want to know?"
"Yes." My one-word
answer comes out slowly and wavers in and out, sounding like a question.
