Veil Between Us

She left everything behind to rebuild her peace. He built walls to protect his. But love doesn't always ask permission.

At twenty, Destiny Monique Hernandez was forced into marriage. By twenty-three, she had made the most difficult decision of her life-to leave. Divorced, disowned, and determined, she fled the Philippines with her two young children, vanishing into the quiet streets of Germany. Two years later, she reemerges in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, seeking a life of simplicity and anonymity. No more pain. No more love. No more risks.

Then she meets Malcom Adam Al-Hashimi-a wealthy, devout, and emotionally guarded engineer who's as strict with his heart as he is with his business. He's divorced too, with two children and a life carefully curated to avoid chaos. Destiny is everything he shouldn't want: foreign, divorced, Christian, complicated.

But something between them begins to break the rules they both swore by.

As their connection deepens, so does the tension between culture, religion, and redemption. Destiny's past resurfaces. Malcom's family pressures him to choose tradition. And both are left to answer the same question:

Can love survive where faith, family, and fear collide?

A story of healing, motherhood, and second chances, Veils Between Us is a slow-burn cross-cultural romance that explores what it means to be seen, chosen, and loved-not in spite of your past, but because of the strength it took to overcome it.
