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 moment we stepped into Liam's penthouse, his presence engulfed me completely. His strong arm wrapped around my waist from behind, pulling me against his solid chest while his other hand swept my hair aside. His lips found the exact spot on my neck where Levi had dared to kiss me earlier, and I shivered as his mouth claimed that patch of skin with fierce intensity.


"Listen to me carefully, Hazel," his voice was a low growl against my throat. "No man will ever touch you like that again. Not Levi, not anyone. You belong to me, completely and utterly. I don't care if you're furious or hurt right now, because you're mine. And I'm going to worship every single inch of your body until you forget that bastard ever laid a finger on you."


His possessive words sent heat spiraling through my core, but I wasn't about to let him off easily. I spun in his arms, my eyes blazing as I met his intense gaze.
