Summary

The invitation came without a name — just a wax seal, an address, and four words: Wear the mask. Ask nothing. See everything. Marlowe Reyes has spent three years chasing the truth about her sister's death, six months into an investigation that keeps leading her into the kind of rooms this city doesn't photograph. She goes to the masquerade for a story. She doesn't expect to be noticed by the one man in the room with something to hide. Emrys Cole isn't supposed to want anything from her — except he's been watching her for longer than she knows, protecting her from a danger only he understands, because he's the reason it exists in the first place. As Marlowe gets closer to the truth, she gets closer to him — a man capable of devotion and violence in equal measure, whose guilt has shaped every quiet, careful thing he's done for three years. But some secrets don't stay buried, and when Marlowe finally uncovers what Emrys did, she'll have to decide whether love can survive the truth — or whether some things can never be unveiled without breaking everything they've built. A dark, slow-burn romance about guilt, devotion,intimacy and the cost of being truly seen.
