A glamorous celebrity actress and model is trapped in a loveless, deceit-filled marriage with a successful businessman who only married her for her status. On her wedding day, she discovers he's cheating on her with her best friend-but she goes through with the wedding anyway to protect her family's reputation and hers. As her marriage grows colder, danger knocks at her door. Enter her new bodyguard-a mysterious, brooding ex-military man who saves her life. What begins as protection turns into desire, and soon she's caught between a life built on lies and a love that feels all too real.

Two meters  one mile by Wendy-Author
11 parts Ongoing Mature
After a frightening accident, Elizabeth Hayes's father hires Derek Carter to be her personal bodyguard - a quiet, watchful presence who's supposed to keep her safe and unseen. Elizabeth expected a protector; she didn't expect someone who could look at her like he already knew every hidden thing she tried to hide. Her life is luxurious and carefully controlled, but the fear from that night lingers in every hallway. Derek stands two meters away as professional distance - but slowly, mile-long emotions pull them closer than either of them planned. As secrets surface and danger shadows their steps, Elizabeth must decide whether to trust the one person whose job is to keep her from harm - and whether she can let down the walls she's spent a lifetime building. Two Meters, One Mile is a slow-burn romantic suspense about protection, vulnerability, and the dangerous beauty of letting someone in. 👩‍❤️‍👨 Main Characters Elizabeth Hayes - Heiress in a grand, lonely mansion. Polished and reserved on the outside; privately fragile after the accident. Desires real connection but is afraid of risk. Derek Carter - Hired by Elizabeth's father as her bodyguard. Calm, observant, intensely competent - and unexpectedly gentle. He keeps his distance for the job, but his loyalty and hidden warmth change everything. Mr. Hayes - Elizabeth's father; wealthy, controlling, and fiercely protective after the accident. He believes control equals safety. Mrs. Carter - Derek's mother; kind and perceptive, she quietly supports both Derek and Elizabeth in small, meaningful ways. Veronica James - Schoolmate/social rival who complicates Elizabeth's life; jealous and sometimes dangerous when her plans are threatened. Secondary cast: drivers, household staff, and a handful of characters tied to the accident who bring tension and mystery.

She plans love stories for a living. He doesn't believe in them. When her best friend suddenly calls off the wedding, she's determined to fix it. But the groom's gone silent, and the bride's older brother-the annoyingly cold, maddeningly gorgeous CEO-wants it all buried. She's not letting it go. He's not letting her in. But the more they fight, the harder it gets to ignore the heat simmering between them... and the secrets threatening to ruin everything. Some love stories aren't planned-they crash into you when you least expect it.
