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.

Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again. This time, she's ready to take matters into her own hands.
