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 upscale restaurant buzzed with energy as our large group settled around a private table. The shopping expedition had left us all in high spirits, especially Stella, who couldn't stop smiling after her workplace triumph.


"To new dresses and putting snobs in their place," Chloe proposed, raising her glass of champagne.


We clinked glasses, laughter rippling around the table. Liam's hand rested comfortably on my knee beneath the tablecloth, his thumb tracing small circles that sent shivers up my spine.


"I still can't believe what happened," Stella said, shaking her head. "My manager's face when she saw the final total..."


"You earned it," Adrian assured her, his arm draped casually over her shoulder. "Though I must say, I rather enjoyed the look on Cybele's face more."


"That was priceless," Thea agreed. "Like she'd bitten into a lemon soaked in vinegar."
