Barbara thinks she knows Ethan Kane. To her, he is nothing more than the loud, cocky, and hopelessly inappropriate friend of her inner circle. She maintains a safe, disdainful distance from him in real life, unaware that the man she can’t stand is the same one orchestrating her world from the shadows. Ethan is an ex-military intelligence specialist turned elite hacker, and he has turned his obsessive gaze toward Barbara. He doesn’t need to lurk in alleys to keep tabs on her; he has total access to her private life through her devices, her cameras, and her microphones. By night, he adopts an anonymous online persona to game with her, capturing her attention and her heart while she remains completely oblivious to his true identity. As their online connection intensifies, the line between his digital manipulation and his real-life possessiveness begins to blur. Featuring a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers trope fueled by dark, obsessive tendencies, *My Masked Shadow* is a gripping tale of control and desire. Barbara is a stubborn, vibrant kindergarten teacher who soon realizes that the shadows she’s been running from have been following her all along—and that escaping them may be the last thing she actually wants to do.
