A Guide to Being Invisible

Rule #1 of being invisible: Don't let a photographer sit next to you.

Rule #2: Definitely don't let him take your picture.

Rule #3: Absolutely do not let him see who you really are.

Selle Blue has broken all three.

For two years, she's hidden her real face behind bad makeup, ugly glasses, and dark contact lenses. Not because someone is chasing her. Not because she's in danger. But because she needed to know if she could exist without being looked at. Without being a face on a billboard. Without being a product.

So far, it's worked. She's just the quiet girl in the back of Psychology class. The one who writes notes on her palms. The one who feeds the fat orange cat every morning. The one people call Sela because they don't care enough to get her name right.

Then Elijah Cruz takes a photo of her with the cat - and suddenly she's not so invisible anymore. He's observant. Patient. He notices the foundation line on her jaw. The way her eyes don't match. The hidden pink of her lips. But he doesn't expose her. He just... stays. With coffee. With questions. With a camera that sees more than it should.

Falling for him wasn't part of the plan.
But neither was being seen.
And maybe - just maybe - that's exactly what she needed all along.
