“"Masquerade of the Heart" Sometimes love hides behind the most unexpected masks... After a brutal betrayal and a painful divorce, Ethan Lockwood has lost all faith in love-until he finds solace in the red light district, not in lust, but in quiet companionship. There, he meets Ruby, a mysterious woman behind a masquerade mask who asks for nothing but time. What he doesn't know is that Ruby is really Minnie Love, a determined law student fighting to stay afloat. As their bond deepens, secrets grow heavier. Minnie becomes Ethan's fiercest ally in his divorce, all while hiding her true identity. When Ethan's cunning ex-wife Amanda discovers the truth, she threatens to use it as ammunition. Meanwhile, under his powerful mother's pressure, Ethan finds himself in an unlikely contract marriage-with Minnie. What begins as convenience quickly turns into something real, but neither dares to admit it. When Minnie's secret is exposed and the world turns against her, she vanishes-until a determined friend helps her find Ethan again, hiding in a remote cabin, wounded and lost. There, truths are faced, love is confessed, and a powerful choice is made. Tangled in lies, love, and legal battles, Masquerade of the Heart is a slow-burn, emotionally rich romance about trust, redemption, and the unexpected places we find home.”
