After a toxic breakup, I'm dragged into a masquerade for the city’s elite.
Velvet masks. Dirty money. Men who rule from the shadows.
My sister humiliates me about my curves—in front of everyone.
Then he steps in.
Tall. Commanding. His fingers tighten on my hips.
“Every man has been watching her from the moment she walked in,” he says coolly.
“But they all know that I get what I want.”
Behind our masks, we're free.
One forbidden night of breaking my own rules.
The only memory of him, a neck tattoo of a grizzly bear.
Until two pink lines shatter my world.
Years later, I’m a struggling single mom desperate for cash.
I land a job as a 24/7 executive assistant.
Thinking my luck's finally turned—until I meet my new boss.
Makari “Mak” Medvedev, The Bear.
Billionaire CEO. Bratva king. Silver-fox tyrant.
There’s something about him that makes my pulse stutter, a haunting sense of déjà vu I can’t shake.
And then I see it.
My masked lover is my boss.
The father of my child.
By day, I move when he commands, every order thick with tension.
By night, he commands my body like loving me is a war he’s determined to win.
But in his world, love comes with danger.
Because falling for a Bratva boss was never part of the plan.
But running from him?
Might be impossible.
