The hand I thought I was dealt?
It’s flipped.
The tricks I thought I mastered?
They’re slipping through my fingers.
And betrayal cuts deeper than any sleight of hand.
We’re still chasing a ghost of a chance. The woman we need to take down is still untouchable—her power absolute.
And the evidence we need?It slipped away with the trust I shattered.
But the game isn’t over. The cards are still in play.
And as the lines blur between friend and enemy, truth and illusion, the deck keeps shifting.
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. It’s the second book in the Glimmer & Gleam Duet and can't be read as a standalone.

Diving back into the glittering world of Vegas magic with Blake Black's Gathered Sparkle, the explosive conclusion to the Glimmer & Gleam Duet! This spellbinding finale elevates everything we loved about book one to new heights.
In this installment, our favorite pickpocket-turned-conspirator finds herself caught in an increasingly dangerous game of deception. With betrayal lurking around every corner and the stakes higher than ever, the line between ally and enemy becomes deliciously blurred. The evidence they desperately need has slipped through their fingers, and their target seems more untouchable than ever.
What truly makes this book shine is how Black masterfully weaves together the threads of trust, redemption, and love. The relationship dynamics between our heroine and her protective magicians deepen beautifully, each character wrestling with their own demons while fighting for their shared future. The emotional payoff feels earned and genuine, making every heart-racing moment count.
The Vegas backdrop continues to dazzle, with high-stakes magic shows and underground dealings creating the perfect atmosphere for this tale of illusion and truth. Black's writing captures both the glittering facade and the gritty underbelly of Sin City with stunning precision.
This satisfying conclusion proves that sometimes the greatest magic isn't in the tricks we perform, but in the trust we build and the love we choose to fight for. 🎭✨
