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 tossed my phone onto the hotel bed and stared out at the New York skyline. The early morning light cast long shadows across the luxury suite, but I barely noticed the view. My mind was stuck on that phone call from yesterday.


Who the hell was this woman? And why couldn't I stop thinking about her voice?


I ran a hand through my hair, irritated at my own distraction. I had a billion-dollar company to run, meetings scheduled all day, and here I was, fixated on my new assistant whom I'd never even met.


"Get it together, Sterling," I muttered to myself.


The memory of her calm, melodious voice answering my deliberate challenge made me uneasy. Most people cowered when I used that tone. She hadn't. Instead, she'd stood her ground with perfect professionalism.


And I'd hung up on her. Like a damn teenager.


I grabbed my phone again and dialed Evelyn.


"Good morning, Mr. Sterling," Evelyn's familiar voice answered.
