About Sands of Deceit

A disgraced gossip. A lying nobleman. A fake marriage to destroy an empire. Lady Gisele lost everything when her father was convicted of treason. She was supposed to become a princess, have the court dance to the songs she sang, and trapped in the webs of gossip she spun. Now all the years she’d spent amassing that power was for nothing. When she’s presented with the chance to get everything she ever wanted, she’ll take it—even when it’s a life-threatening undercover mission in the Esmean Empire. Even when it involves the most infuriating man she’s ever met. She’s desperate enough to risk her life, but is she desperate enough to lose her heart? Taking his cousin’s identity to uncover a supposedly empire-shattering secret didn’t sound so bad to Lord Hakim, until he ended up stuck with the most insufferable woman he’s ever met. Now he has to pretend to be married to her while also keeping her from realizing that he’s not just her fake husband but also the lord of the estate they’re staying at. While they chase a secret that could change the world, Hakim has to wrestle with more than one unfortunate truth along the way. Maybe Gisele isn’t what he first thought she was, and that without her, does he even stand a chance at surviving at all? Sands of Deceit, a reimagining that combines King Thrushbeard and Bluebeard, is the sixth in the Bewitching Fairy Tales Series, a complete series of interconnected fairy tale retellings that are best enjoyed together. If you enjoy epic fairy tale retellings filled with clean romance, enemies-to-lovers, and flawed heroines, download Sands of Deceit today!
