Masked Desire

_hestia_
After a painful divorce, Ethan Lockwood, emotionally scarred by his wife’s betrayal, finds solace in an unexpected place: the red light district. There, he meets Ruby, a mysterious woman hiding behind a masquerade mask. Despite the chemistry between them, Ethan doesn’t ask for anything physical—just her company. Ruby, whose real name is Minnie Love, is a law student trying to pay her way through college, and she agrees to his unusual request. Their bond deepens over time, with Minnie helping Ethan during his messy divorce. However, she keeps her true identity a secret. When Ethan’s ex-wife, Amanda, uncovers that Ruby and Minnie are one and the same, she plots to use this secret against Ethan. Meanwhile, Ethan’s mother pressures him to remarry, pushing him into a contract marriage with Minnie, who agrees reluctantly in exchange for financial help. As their marriage grows, so does their emotional connection, though neither dares to confess their love. When Amanda publicly exposes Minnie’s secret, the fallout is devastating. But Minnie, with the help of Ethan’s friend Jake, tracks him down to a cabin in the woods, where they finally confront their feelings. Ethan, filled with understanding and love, defends Minnie and fights back against those who wronged them. Their journey culminates in a passionate reunion, with Ethan and Minnie beginning their new life together, free from the chains of their pasts.
