In a city built on illusions, Liv Mathers has always craved something real. A survivor in more ways than one, she’s used to dancing through life alone—until a fateful night at Los Angeles’ most exclusive nightclub puts her in the path of Damon Lautner, a man as guarded as he is magnetic.

Their connection is immediate, electric—the kind that feels impossible to ignore, even as the world outside begins to fall apart. As a pandemic shutters the city and forces everyone behind closed doors, Liv and Damon find themselves confronting not only their growing feelings, but the secrets and scars they each try to hide.

Told with aching tenderness and sharp humor, Love and Masks is a story of two souls colliding at the exact moment they both need it most. It’s about finding unexpected hope in a time of fear, about the courage it takes to let someone see the real you—and the transformative power of love, even when the world is standing still.

For anyone who has ever believed that the right person can find you when you least expect it—Love and Masks is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, connection is still possible, and that love can be the most beautiful kind of risk.
