Title: Love and Masks 

Author: David Winkler

Released: July 15, 2025

Find it: Amazon

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.

Review for Love and Masks

Love and Masks is a relatable, swoony read! Damon, a LA nightclub owner, and Liv, an influencer, meet right before the world shuts down for Covid—talk about timing. Both are used to going through life alone, but forced proximity gives them the chance to actually connect. What starts as attraction grows into something deeper, with secrets revealed, hearts healed, and love blossoming in the middle of chaos.

It’s not a super heavy read, but it’s packed with hope, emotion, and a few heartbreaking moments. Honestly, I would’ve loved an epilogue to tie up the loose ends, but overall this is a heartwarming and sexy journey that proves love really can show up when you least expect it—even in a pandemic.
