Isla Fox

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

I couldn't stop laughing as Damian practically dragged Scarlett away while she kept glancing back at us with that bewildered expression plastered across her face. The entire scene was too amusing until Liam suddenly seized my hand and started pulling me in the opposite direction, which only made everyone around us erupt in more laughter.


"You're coming with me, Miss Hazel," Liam said, his arm sliding around my waist with practiced ease. "Miranda's staying over at Leo's place tonight?"


"Yes, she is, but that doesn't mean I'm staying with you, Liam."


"Actually, you are! You were the one who promised we'd have an amazing night together. Since it's nowhere near over, we're finishing what we started at my apartment." He drew me against him and captured my lips in a kiss that effectively silenced any protest I might have voiced, then guided me toward his sleek black car.
