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 airport was bustling with travelers as I walked Evelyn to her gate. Her flight to London would be boarding soon.


"You're sure about this move?" I asked, helping her with her carry-on bag.


Evelyn smiled, her elegant features softening. "My grandchildren are growing up without me there. It's time."


I nodded, fighting the lump in my throat. Evelyn had been more than just an assistant over the years. She'd been family.


"Promise me one thing before I go," she said, turning to face me.


"Don't give up on Hazel." Her eyes were serious. "What you two have is rare."


I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "She won't even talk to me, Evelyn."


"Then make her listen." She squeezed my arm. "And Liam? That little boy adores you."


The mention of Leo made my chest tighten. I couldn't explain the instant connection I'd felt with him. Those familiar violet-blue eyes. His laugh. The way he fit so perfectly when I lifted him up.
