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

My heart hammered in my chest as Liam's sleek black car pulled into the Sterling Group parking garage. I smoothed my pencil skirt for the tenth time, anxiety gnawing at my stomach.


"Nervous?" Liam asked, his hand finding mine.


"Is it that obvious?" I tried to laugh, but it came out shaky.


"Only to me." He squeezed my fingers. "You have nothing to worry about. Everyone will be thrilled to have you back."


"Well, almost everyone." His lips quirked into a half-smile. "Bianca might need some time to adjust."


Liam turned off the engine and shifted to face me. "Listen to me. You're brilliant, capable, and you belong here. Anyone who can't see that isn't worth your concern."


His confidence in me made my heart swell. I leaned across the console and pressed a quick kiss to his lips.
