THIEF LIAR LADY PB – D. L. SORIA

"Happily Ever After is a total scam, but at least this time the princess is the one controlling the grift – until her true love arrives and threatens to ruin the whole scheme. I m not who you think I am. My transformation from a poor, orphaned scullery maid into the enchantingly mysterious lady who snagged the heart of the prince did not happen – as the rumours insist – in a magical metamorphosis of pumpkins and glass slippers. Instead, with the help of a touchingly tragic past and the some highly illegal spells, my stepsisters and I infiltrated the ball and captured the attention of the prince. I became a princess, secured our fortunes, and ensured we d all live happily ever after. But of course, there s always more to the story. Now my magic is running out, war is looming, and a handsome hostage prince – the wrong prince – is distracting me with his magnetic charm and forbidden flirtations. I m in danger of losing control of the delicate balance I ve created . . . and that could prove fatal. There s so much more riding on this than a crown."
