Such an Odd Word to Use -...

Anonyme

A hidden Clerkenwell refuge, a watchful neighbour – and a narrowing gap between paranoia and perception. 
After years on the move, Mark hopes for peace in a secluded London house once used as a music studio. Hidden behind Georgian terraces, it feels like the perfect retreat... until small disturbances begin to ripple beneath the surface. A glance held too long. A neighbour who knows too much. Watchers who linger. 
A routine planning request triggers something deeper, that seems too coordinated to be pure chance. As unease grows, Mark begins to suspect the house holds more than memories. But in an age of constant surveillance, what separates paranoia from perception? 
Such an Odd Word to Use is a quietly unsettling psychological mystery novella for the digital age, where even silence may be scripted.

Getting summoned to a meeting at the White House felt like an honor—until I caught the catch. I'm the newest member of her security detail. Not only for this summer in DC, but once she leaves for Stanford in the fall as well. Her safety is my responsibility. 
 
 
 
Trouble is, the only place Georgie respects any rules is on the tennis court. 
 
 
 
Our priorities clash and our personalities conflict, yet somehow—the more time we spend together, the less it feels like work. 
 
 
 
But my job description doesn't include making her laugh or enjoying our conversations. And it definitely doesn't involve broken rules or blurred lines. 
 
 
 
My only job? 
 
 
 
Is to serve.
