Beauty in Deception: A Diamond Magnate Novel

Written by Charmaine Pauls

Narrated by Adara Stevens and Lee Turner Smith

“I’m a decoy, another woman’s double, and now her enemy has taken me.”

A DARK MAFIA ROMANCE

My life is governed by three rules.

 

Don’t get caught.

If caught, play the role.

Win time until rescue arrives.

 

My life depends on playing the role convincingly. I’ve been trained for that role since the age of fifteen. For ten long years, I’ve been taught to be someone else, to respond to a different name, and to live in another woman’s shadow. Evie Warren is the most coveted mafia princess in the country, and I’m her double. I’m the decoy, her stunt girl, so to speak.

 

So when I break the first rule, I know it’s bad. I know it’s going to get worse when the man who carjacked my convoy gives me two options, telling me he hopes I won’t choose the second one. And when he calls me Evie, he confirms my worst suspicion. The attack was premeditated.

 

There can only be two reasons why he wants to take Evie. He wants her either for ransom or for revenge, and Bell Warren, her father, has more enemies than money.

Beauty in Deception is a standalone story with no cliffhanger that contains mature themes.

The story line is amazing! I love that you can read this book independent of the other Diamond Magnate books but if you did this story makes a few references.
