TheVelvetDawn
Ellara Vale has always lived her life on autopilot work, school, deadlines, and endless responsibilities leave little room for anything else. Smart, capable, and fiercely independent, she has learned to rely on no one but herself... until one chance encounter changes everything.
It was a single moment. A glance. A voice she barely recognized. And then, he disappeared mysterious, magnetic, and impossibly dangerous. Zephan Romano is a man of power, wealth, and influence, the kind of man whose presence commands attention and whose name carries weight in whispered conversations. Ruthless to the world, yet something about Ellara ignites a curiosity he can't ignore.
Drawn together by fate, circumstance, and the unspoken pull between them, their worlds collide. Ellara is intrigued by his intensity and the secrets he carries; Zephan is captivated by her intelligence, fire, and refusal to bow to his authority. But in a world where loyalty is currency and danger hides behind every smile, trust is fragile, and every choice has a price.
As attraction grows, so do secrets, lies, and power plays. Ellara must navigate a world she barely understands, balancing her independence with the irresistible pull toward a man who could either be her greatest ally or her undoing. And Zephan must confront feelings he has long buried, learning that some forces desire, love, fate cannot be controlled, no matter how powerful you are.
In Veil, nothing is as it seems. Every glance hides a secret. Every touch carries risk. And sometimes, the only way to survive the shadows is to step into them.
