Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

The Lippert family was making a comeback. With the Lippert Group's massive operations, Ludwik really needed to focus on his own business and just be the heir he was meant to be.

Ludwik didn't answer, his lips pressed into a calm, thin line. "Dad, this isn't over yet."

Jason's expression darkened. "Don't tell me you're planning to go back to Eurovoria. You almost lost your life last time!"
