Behind the Veil

By: Catherine Maiorisi

Narrated by: Abby Craden

Ariana Calandre's life is perfect. Her fans adore her, her music is wildly popular and she's just completed a hugely successful world tour. But then a devastating crash kills her bandmates and bodyguards, leaving her the only survivor, and she loses everything. Physically and emotionally shattered, convinced her scars make her a monster, she retreats to an isolated farmhouse, and hides behind a veil.

Depressed and hopeless, recently discharged veteran Lee Wilton arrives looking for work after her wife sold her house and disappeared with her two adopted daughters. What starts as a simple groundskeeping job becomes something deeper as Lee's patience and kindness slowly coax Ariana back to life.

Neither woman expects the powerful attraction that grows between them. But when Ariana finally finds the courage to lift her veil, will love be enough to heal them both?

With pain and fear comes love and courage

I loved all the emotions that both of them made it through to the end. Where all the pain came love

My favorite of the singer genre!

This story has a different kind of angst for the MC’s and that twist brings depth of heart to the mains, Ariana and Lee.

Abby Craden’s performance is spot on as usual. Her vocal separations for each character makes the story easy to follow and of course her voices bring the players in the story to life.

Catherine’s character arc development is so satisfying that I couldn’t stop listening. Her inclusion of Thomas’s character touched me with anger and then forgiveness. Don’t miss this one.

Very Engaging Story With Interesting MC’s! Loved Escaping With This Beautiful Evolving Storyline!

I continue to be amazed by this author who seems to effortlessly, write a very engaging story that kept my interest, from start to finish! I also enjoy having both perspectives of the MC’s provided throughout to enhance both perspectives for the reader/listener. The Narrator (Abby Craden) never disappoints with a smooth tone.

Slow burn. Great storyline.

Great! You will love this storyline. Abby Craden has a wonderful performance. You will love this one. Enjoy!
