Description
From the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, The Arrangement, comes an intimate novel about falling in love with the right person at the wrong time.
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.
For fans of Colleen Hoover (Reminders of Him, November 9), Taylor Jenkins Reid (One True Loves, Maybe in Another Life), Before Sunrise, and The Idea of You.
Advance Praise
Praise for David Winkler's memoir The Arrangement:
"A brutally honest, often fascinating true story about sex and love in Holllywood. Winkler crafts an engrossing remembrance that will keep readers turning its pages."
—KIRKUS REVIEWS
"Bold. Brave. Unflinchingly and brutally honest. The devastating heartbreak throughout makes David's journey and destination hopeful beyond measure. Not only for him, but for the reader; since not a word reads anything but heartfelt and sincere."
—DANIEL STERN, author of Swingland: Between the Sheets of the Secretive, Sometimes Messy, but Always Adventurous Swinging Lifestyle
"David Winkler's sex-and-love memoir, The Arrangement, reads more like a suspense novel, replete with twist and turns, red herrings and a femme fatale. Even for a woman who writes her own Hollywood tales, it's hard to believe it's all true—but it is! Sex and the City for the men in our lives, whose secrets and broken hearts are hidden beneath crisp suit jackets and the masculine urge."
—GIGI LEVANGIE GRAZER, author of The Starter Wife and Been There, Married That
"David has the audacity to lift the veil of secrecy around sugar daddy and sugar baby relationships, while treating serious mental health issues like drug and sex addiction with sensitivity. As a woman who's battled her own demons and lived to write about it, I was hooked from page one."
—CARRIE WHITE, author of Upper Cut: Highlights of My Hollywood Life
