When Dennis Towns, a Jamaican engineer in Washington, D.C., meets Malia Reyes, a California architect with Hawaiian and African American roots, an unexpected spark defies time, culture, and circumstance. As they blend families and navigate love across generations and borders—from D.C. to Jamaica—they uncover what it truly means to see and be seen. Behind the Veil of Desire is a moving story of rediscovery, courage, and the kind of love that begins when you stop hiding behind fear and finally step into truth.
