HOUSE OF DECEIT
Shuri von Neuschwanstein has had her hands full taking care of her swiftly growing stepchildren and ensuring her mistakes from her previous life don’t happen again. In her determination to keep Jeremy safe, however, she’s inadvertently let Elias slip through her fingers and into the clutches of her scheming brother, Lucas, who now runs a gambling house popular with the empire’s influential young nobles. Extracting Elias could prove messy, especially under the Richelieu’s watchful eye, and the number of people Shuri can trust continues to dwindle. Can Elias be saved? And if not by Shuri, by whom?
