Not Forever, Just Always

"To someone who loves deeply and silently; because it's safer not to be seen"

Sophie never asked for an empire.
She never asked for fear, or secrets, or the nightmares that followed her into adulthood.
What she did find was Grey - her bodyguard and the one person who understood her silence and stayed anyway.

When Sophie uncovers the truth about her past, everything she knows begins to unravel.
Danger closes in, old wounds reopen, and she and Grey are forced to confront the darkness that shaped them.

This is a story about survival, about rebuilding, and about choosing love - not forever,
but one safe, beautiful always at a time.
