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

"Mommy, will Mr. Liam come today?" Leo looked up at me, his big violet-blue eyes full of hope.


My heart squeezed painfully. "No, sweetheart. Today we're meeting Ms. Evelyn for lunch, remember? Ms. Chloe and Mr. Noah are coming too."


"Oh." His little shoulders slumped. "But can Mr. Liam come next time? He promised to show me how to build a bigger tower."


I knelt down, straightening his tiny jacket. "We'll see, baby. Now, are you excited to see Ms. Evelyn?"


Leo nodded, but his disappointed expression remained. Before I could say anything else, the doorbell rang.


"They're here!" Leo's mood instantly brightened as he ran to the door.


I followed him, plastering on a smile while trying to ignore the ache in my chest. Leo's attachment to Liam was growing stronger every day. How could I keep them apart when my son looked at him with such adoration?


Chloe burst in, scooping Leo into her arms. "There's my favorite little man!"
