ENTICING BLOOD

By Baldwin O. Catherine

When Melissa Calloway's twin sister Kimberly disappears, she tells herself it is just another reckless night. Eleven days later, she is filing a missing persons report at a police station that does not care, except for one officer whose attention feels less like help and more like something she cannot quite name.
Then the doorbell rings.
Kimberly is returned, dazed and unharmed, held upright by a stranger who delivers four words that change everything: I took the wrong one.
His name is Roman Vael. He does not threaten. He does not demand. He hands Melissa a card with a number and a deadline, and makes her an offer. Kimberly's permanent freedom in exchange for one condition. One that requires Melissa to give herself up willingly, of her own free choice.
What follows is not a simple abduction story.
As Melissa pulls at the threads of Roman's identity, she discovers a man who has been watching her for years with a precision that goes far beyond obsession. A man who built a room for her before he knew her name. Who knows about the intersection she drives past every week and exactly what that grief means. Who has engineered a situation designed to make Melissa ask the most dangerous question of her life. Not whether she is safe, but whether she has ever truly been known.
With a police officer whose interest conceals its own agenda, a woman from Roman's past carrying warnings and lies in equal measure, and a threat from eleven years ago walking back into her life, Melissa must navigate a situation where every person around her is managing what she knows.
Enticing Blood is a psychological thriller about sacrifice, identity, and the terrifying difference between being watched and being seen.
