Cultures clash and passion ignites in the novel that will
leave you begging for more—from the bestselling author of
The Affair and Looking Inside.
There’s something about this woman…
On a break between overseas jobs, journalist Asher Gaites
returns to his hometown of Chicago—and allows his friends to
persuade him to check out a hot new singer. At a downtown
jazz club, he’s soon transfixed by the lyrical voice and
sensuous body of a woman who performs behind a thin,
shimmering veil...
…That could bring a man to his knees.
The veil gives Moroccan-American Laila Barek the anonymity
she needs since she has never been able to reconcile her
family’s values with her passion for music. But one man is
inexplicably drawn to her. And when Asher confronts her on a
subway platform after a gig, he’s shocked to recognize the
woman who walked away from him nine years ago...
Laila has never been able to forget the touch, the feel, the
taste of Asher. And despite the doubt and fear that wind
their way into their lives, they must trust the heat of
their desire to burn down the walls the world has placed
between them…
