Within Range

Lila Calloway knew what she was signing up for when she married Judge Howard Calloway.

Power. Prestige. Danger.

As one of Chicago's most feared criminal judges, Howard has built his reputation on ruthless sentencing and an unshakable belief that monsters deserve punishment. The city respects him. Criminals hate him. And after multiple threats against his life, constant security has become part of their marriage.

Including Dominic Reyes.

Quiet. Controlled. Always watching.

For four years, Dominic has stood at Lila's side as her bodyguard-close enough to know how she takes her coffee, what calms her anxiety, and when her smiles are fake. He notices everything he shouldn't.

Especially her.

After a violent assassination attempt changes everything, the walls around Lila's carefully controlled life begin to crack. Long nights, close calls, and dangerous proximity blur the line between protection and desire until both Lila and Dominic are forced to confront a terrifying truth:

Some feelings don't begin all at once.

Sometimes, they've been growing silently for years.

And once they cross the line, there may be no going back.
