Perfect for you if...

You love second-chance romance with high stakes and genuine chemistry between characters who feel mismatched on paper.
You're drawn to Cinderella retellings that flip the script: she's not waiting to be rescued, she's deciding whether to let him in.
You enjoy age-gap romances where the power imbalance is acknowledged and becomes part of the tension, not glossed over.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer slow-burn romance where attraction builds gradually rather than ignites instantly from a first meeting.
You're looking for literary complexity or experimental narrative structures; this is straightforward, character-driven romance.
You want equal emotional footing between characters from the start; this features a wealthy, older man pursuing a younger woman who's wary of his influence.

About this book

A barista working to make rent receives an invitation to Manhattan's most exclusive masquerade ball from a favorite customer. Wearing a borrowed gown, she dances with a mysterious stranger and spends the night with him before slipping away at dawn, leaving only her mask behind. Weeks later, the stranger walks into her coffee shop. He is Xander Sterling, a billionaire and Manhattan's most eligible bachelor, ten years her senior. She attempts to dismiss their encounter, determined to maintain her independence as a struggling artist. However, Xander pursues her with single-minded determination, forcing her to choose between preserving her hard-won independence and surrendering to the commanding billionaire intent on uncovering her heart.
