Callie Moreau is a gifted photographer trapped beneath the weight of her family's expectations and the shadows of a threatening past. Her life, once filled with light and art, darkens as an unknown enemy stalks her every move. To protect her, her father hires Alexander Stone, a former special forces operative turned bodyguard-haunted by his own demons and burdened with a solemn vow to keep Callie safe.
As Alexander becomes her shield, their professional boundary begins to dissolve. Callie, strong yet vulnerable, finds herself drawn to the quiet intensity behind Alexander's guarded exterior. He, in turn, sees in her a flicker of hope that might finally redeem his haunted soul.
But the path to love is perilous. Secrets unravel, danger closes in, and the line between protector and lover blurs into a forbidden, passionate connection. In a world where trust is fragile and every shadow hides a threat, Callie and Alexander must confront their fears, break down their walls, and decide if the risk of love is worth the price of survival.

Two meters one mile
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. π©ββ€οΈβπ¨ Main Characters Elizabeth Hayes - Heiress in a grand, lonely mansion.

Zariah Hart's been quiet since the night she lost everything, and moving to The Palisade at Skyview Apartments was supposed to give her a fresh start. No expectations. No questions. Just peace. But peace gets complicated when a man like Omarion Jordan starts showing up in it. He's nothing like she expected. Tatted, quiet, with eyes that read people better than they speak. A mechanic with a past he doesn't explain-and a presence that says more than his mouth does. He doesn't ask about her silence. She doesn't flinch at his reputation. Somehow, that's enough. What starts as simple glances turns into shared space. What feels like comfort turns to something neither of them planned for. But Atlanta doesn't forget what people try to bury. And sometimes, the loudest truth is the one you never say out loud. πππππππ: ππππ ππππ
