Royal, Texas – Present Day

After winning a makeover contest, food truck owner Lauren Roberts is given a makeover to attend a masquerade ball at the Texas Cattleman's Club. While there, she runs into a man in a wolf mask—and the sparks fly between them. Soon, they are sneaking off to a billiards room at the club, where they have sex. No names were exchanged, but Lauren later determines who he is. Seeking him out days later, Lauren is surprised at the lack of chemistry between them, something that was there the night they made love.

What Lauren doesn't know is the man she had sex with and the man she later sought out isn't the same man. Sutton and Sebastian Wingate are identical twins, and both wore identical wolf masks that night. The day after the party, Sebastian's picture was in the paper, and Lauren mistook him holding the wolf mask as the one with whom she hooked up. What is even more bizarre, Sebastian met a mystery woman that night too, but it turns out it was someone else, not Lauren. Sebastian soon realizes that maybe he has the wrong woman (he also wanted to meet his mystery woman again) and asks Sutton to take Lauren out on their date. The chemistry sizzles between Lauren and Sutton. How long will it take until Sutton tells her the truth?

It's an instant attraction for Sutton and Lauren in BILLIONAIRE BEHIND THE MASK. Lauren has hopes of opening a restaurant to expand her food truck business and wanted to connect with the right people at the masquerade party for the influential and rich. Instead, she meets a man she can't resist sneaking off with to have a naughty rendezvous. Of course, after they meet once again, Lauren is confused as to why they don't have the same chemistry. Luckily for Lauren (and readers), Sutton soon reveals the truth, and they embark on a fling. He offers to help her in her quest for a restaurant, and things appear to be going smoothly for them. But there must be a few problems, right?

Sutton and his family are in the midst of a scandal that has devastated their company. The fallout could lead to someone in his family going to jail. The pressure is on! Lauren has issues, namely, insecurity. Can they overcome the blips in their lives to make a future together? BILLIONAIRE BEHIND THE MASK is the latest installment in the Texas Cattleman's Club series. Each tale should be read in order to understand what is going on. The underlying theme is the scandal involving the Wingate family. Then there is Sebastian's mysterious woman. Readers will suspect who she is.

An intriguing read, don't miss BILLIONAIRE BEHIND THE MASK.
