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.
