BLIND SPOT

Alyssa Kwiatek spends her nights teaching Milwaukee's new AI surveillance network what to see — twelve hours of footage, clip by clip, camera zone by camera zone. She's better at it than anyone noticed. After two weeks of careful tracking, she's the only person who knows the system has been built to unsee someone specific.

Then she files the report. By the time her shift ends, her login is gone.

Before she can find out who the erased man is, there's the city investigator who answers her one unanswered email and arrives at her door with bad coffee and careful attention; the paper map tacked to her kitchen table tracing four routes, four destinations; the morning she wakes to a blanket from the kitchen chair she didn't put there; the realization that the only safe way to follow an invisible man is to step inside the gap herself; and twelve days off the grid on a Lake Michigan winter shore where the professional distance finally, entirely runs out.

She's spent a decade making herself useful in spaces that didn't quite fit, managing down her own capacity because wanting something that big and failing would be worse. He spent eleven months inside the correct process watching it fail, and one woman's pattern-spotting has finally made it impossible to keep pretending that caution and waiting are the same thing.

A surveillance-conspiracy romantic suspense with a cold Milwaukee winter and a city that sees everything except its own corruption. The kind of book where the romance arrives not with a declaration but with a blanket left on the futon at 4am — and the conspiracy unravels because she couldn't stop looking.

WHY THIS WILL SELL

→ Romance > Romantic Suspense > Suspense sits at 7.8 sales-to-comp (Hot Mainstream) with ~294 estimated daily sales per top-20 title — the HEA spine earns legitimate placement here, where the real discovery volume lives

→ Thrillers > Technothrillers (4.1 sales-to-comp, Hot Mainstream) is up 59% year over year — an early-surge category; entering now positions for the wave, not the saturation

→ Surveillance conspiracy is underrepresented in Technothriller's current top-20 — the female data-worker protagonist has no direct competition in this lane

→ Female POV lead bridges Technothriller to Romantic Suspense readership — Sandra Brown and Lisa Gardner readers are a ready-made crossover audience the top-20 isn't capturing

→ Milwaukee winter texture creates a differentiated cover brief and social hook — city-specific US atmospheric thrillers outside NYC, D.C., and Chicago are scarce across both categories

TROPES: • Ordinary woman uncovers what she shouldn't • Slow burn • Off the grid together • Surveillance state as the villain's weapon • The investigator who is also out of his depth • She files the report; he's the only one who answers • Pattern recognition as superpower • The blanket left on the futon at 4am • Bad coffee at the doorstep as a first act of care • Stepping into the gap herself • A man who refuses to watch her even when he could • "Tell me next time" instead of "I forgive you" • Guaranteed HEA
