MASK

A DARK EMOTIONAL ROMANCE

She wore it to survive. He loved what he found underneath.

Devyn's MASK was her protection—sharp suits, sharper comebacks, and a courtroom presence no one dared challenge. But behind the polished lawyer was a woman scarred by betrayal and trauma. When her cousin hurt her, her parents ignored it. When the nightmares came, she buried them under ambition. No one saw the pain except Vaughn Thornwood. He saw through the armor. Gave her space. Gave her safety. And eventually, gave her love.

Vaughn's world was built on lies, especially his marriage. His wife wanted money, not love. But Devyn? She was fire and honesty. Passion and pain. She was real. And once he tasted that kind of love, he couldn’t go back. He wanted more. A future.
Her.

But there's one problem: he’s still married. Not for long. Because Devyn Mela Goldbourne will be his. His wife. His family. His forever. And nothing—not her past, not his lies, not anyone—will stand in his way.

⚠️ Trigger Warning:
This story contains mature themes including sexual assault, infidelity, PTSD, strong language, and explicit content. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
