Secrets unravel. Alliances fracture. The game I thought I was playing? It’s changing right before my eyes. Trust is a risk. Love is a gamble. But when the final hand is played, will I win it all? Or will I lose everything I’ve fought to keep? Gathered Sparkle is a medium burn, instant spark, spicy, hurt/comfort, MFMMM why choose romance.
