Three years ago, Hazel Vance made a choice that changed everything. One night of passion with a mysterious stranger at a masquerade ball left her with more than just memories—it left her with a son whose rare violet-blue eyes are a constant reminder of the father she'll never find.

Now a struggling single mother, Hazel desperately needs the executive assistant position at Sterling Group. The salary could finally give her two-year-old Leo the life he deserves. But her new boss, CEO Liam Sterling, is nothing like she expected.

Demanding, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Liam has a reputation for being impossible to work for. Most assistants don't last a week. When Hazel refuses to be intimidated by his cold demeanor and sharp tongue, something shifts between them. The attraction is immediate and electric, crackling through every professional interaction.

But it's his eyes that stop her cold. The same striking violet-blue shade that stares back at her every morning when she looks at her son.

As the tension between them builds and the lines between professional and personal begin to blur, Hazel finds herself caught between her desperate need for this job and her growing attraction to the one man who could destroy everything she's worked for.

She doesn't know that Liam has been searching for the mysterious woman from the masquerade ball ever since that night changed him forever. And he has no idea that the composed, fiery assistant who challenges him at every turn is the same woman who haunts his dreams.

When the truth finally comes to light, will it bring them together or tear apart the fragile new life Hazel has built for herself and her son?

The CEO’s Masked Secret Wife

The last thing I expected during lunch was to see Clairemont's face in the restaurant doorway. But there she stood, scanning the room until her eyes locked on mine.


"You've got some nerve showing up here to harass my friend, you witch," Stella immediately bristled, her voice cutting through the ambient chatter.


Clairemont approached our table with what she probably thought was a humble expression, though her eyes held something sharper. "Hazel, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't absolutely necessary. Please, I'm begging you to just listen to what I have to say."


"Absolutely not. Get lost and leave Hazel alone." Stella's protective instincts were in full force, and I could practically see her calculating the distance between herself and Clairemont's throat.


I placed a restraining hand on Stella's arm. "Let it go, Stella. I'll hear her out. I'd rather deal with this pest once and for all than have her stalking me around town."
