He's the storm. She's the sunshine. Magnolia, Louisiana, will never be the same. Maverick Hayes came to Magnolia to stand up in his best friend's wedding, not to put down roots. A former Marine with scars too deep to count, he's spent his life running from the wreckage of his past. But when a gruff favor at a women's shelter pulls him into the orbit of Kayla Broussard, he finds himself caught between walls he's built and a light he can't resist. Kayla has always been the strong one-teacher, caretaker, and the quiet force behind The Magnolia House, a shelter she built in honor of a friend she couldn't save. She knows better than to fall for a man with storm clouds in his eyes. Yet every time Maverick shows up-for her students, for the shelter kids, for her-the pieces of her heart fall faster. When Maverick's past crashes back into Magnolia, threatening everything he's found, Kayla must decide if her sunshine can weather his storm. Together, they'll learn that home isn't where you're from-it's who you fight for.

Ten years ago, Alyssa Martin believed love was enough. She traded in her own spotlight for her husband's, becoming the quiet force behind Hollywood's golden boy Isaiah Martins, the man the world calls "Zay." To the public, their marriage is flawless red carpet smiles, luxury dinners, magazine covers that worship their "unbreakable bond." But behind the veil of perfection lies the truth: years of heartbreak, failed pregnancies, and a growing silence between them. As Isaiah's fame skyrockets, so does the pressure. His new co-star is dazzling, his team whispers about PR chemistry, and his hunger for power begins to consume him. Fame was supposed to be his salvation but it's becoming his downfall. And Alyssa? She's starting to realize that love isn't supposed to hurt this much. That sometimes, the greatest betrayal isn't another woman it's losing yourself while trying to hold someone else together. A Veil of Lies is a story about fame, love, and the price of silence a haunting portrait of a woman breaking under the weight of her own devotion. Beneath the glamour lies a battle with identity, self-worth, and mental scars that no one sees until it's far too late.
