A Love Born from Distance

A Love Born from Distance – Ellie & Michael's Story Two cities. Two strangers. One love powerful enough to cross an ocean. Ellie Turner lives a life controlled by expectations—her powerful father, her strict family, and the cold London rain that seems to mirror her loneliness. She works as a secretary in her father's company, following rules she never chose. She feels trapped… until a single Snapchat notification changes everything. Michael Yilmaz works long shifts in a noisy bar in Istanbul. He never expects much from life—until he sends a random friend request that is unexpectedly accepted. One message becomes two… then fifty… then hours of late-night voice calls. And slowly, something impossible begins to grow. A connection neither can deny. A love neither planned. A bond strong enough to shake the world around them. As their hearts intertwine through glowing screens and whispered confessions, Ellie's family becomes suspicious. Michael becomes jealous. Fear rises between them, but so does love. And with August 17 approaching—the day Ellie's family travels to Turkey—hope turns into desperation, longing into obsession, and distance into their greatest enemy. But when Ellie rebels against everything she knows and boards a plane alone, one truth becomes real: Some loves aren't chosen. They are destiny. Their first embrace at Istanbul Airport becomes the moment everything changes. But it's only the beginning… A Love Born from Distance is a breathtaking, emotional romance about longing, fear, family pressure, and the kind of love that can survive two cities, two cultures, and two broken hearts fighting to become one.
