When cash-strapped music student Lottie agrees to donate blood at a mysterious private clinic, she expects easy money. What she doesn't expect is Gregor — scruffy, kilted, and undeniably magnetic — or the warning he whispers before disappearing into the snow: don't come back.

But something draws her back. And this time, she can't walk away.

Caught between a world she never knew existed and feelings she doesn't know how to trust, Lottie must navigate danger, longing, and the quiet terror of letting someone in — when everything in her life has taught her that love is always temporary.

Blood Song is a short story about a young woman who has survived on her own for as long as she can remember, and the impossible, inconvenient man who makes her wonder if she doesn't have to.
