Who Is The Author Of The Leopard Mask?

3.5 Stories in one. She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith—the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room—Manhattan's most exclusive masked club—she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

My body instantly betrays me. A strange mark I've never been able to explain burns beneath my skin. Nightmares I'd rather forget become impossible to escape. Every stolen glance from Darius awakens a terrifying sense of passionate familiarity I can't explain. And every heartbeat tells me to run... ...or surrender. The more I uncover about the man I'm spying on, the more I begin to question my mission, my memories, and the people I've trusted my entire life. The I realise... some secrets aren't buried. They are waiting to be remembered. {This story contains themes of sexual content, violence, captivity, psychological distress, and strong language. Reader discretion is advised.}
