There's always a price for defying destiny. 
Born with a power to make men irresistibly in love with her, Laleen dreams of experiencing a love unbound by her powers. But a man like that could never exist in her life due to the curse placed on her when she was just a baby.
When her soul is exchanged with another's after an encounter with the witch who cursed her as a baby, Laleen is giving an opportunity to start her life anew and maybe, get the love story she has always wanted. Except... how is her curse still with her despite now becoming another person in another world? 
As Stephanie, Laleen meets Shane, a mysterious man who for some reason isn't affected by her powers. Not thinking that a man such as himself could exist in this world, Laleen is deeply drawn to him.
Due to unforseen circumstances, they end up together as husband and wife. 
But Shane isn't just a mysterious man who refuses to love her. He bears his own secrets and a great trauma that Laleen is yet to uncover and may be the key to unlocking his unyielding heart.
As Laleen's quest for love is greatly challenged by a witch's thirst for revenge, secrets are unveiled and stories of the past are brought to question. 
Can Laleen find the true love she so seeks? Will Shane's heart ever be opened to her? Can a love thriving without destiny's divine permission ever see the light?
Or will it be burnt to ashes, buried in the cold dark hands of fate's cruelty.

In-between Our Destinies

"Hmm?" Laleen blinked, not sure if she heard correctly.

"You want to… ?" She stared at him wide-eyed, his words registering.

Shane nodded. "Let's hear all that you did today"

Laleen wanted to pinch her cheeks. Was she dreaming? If she was, then she never wanted to wake up!

Shane walked inside leaving her to think and Laleen's eyes were quick to follow him.

She watched him take off his coat to reveal his broad back to her and she gulped, staring as he draped it over a chair.

He sat down, tired and Laleen quickly took a seat too. It saddened her that the red tape made sure to keep them apart.

She would have liked to sit beside him.

He raised his head, his gaze encouraging her to start. It was only then that Laleen realized just how drained he looked.

With that thought, Laleen brought her chair closer until it was near the red tape partition between them.
