Publisher Description
“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
Beauty in Deception: A Diamond Magnate Novel - Charmaine Pauls
A dark mafia romance in a tipsy turvy world where secrets get revealed and surprises pop up at many turns.
Christina was a poor girl who really had no choice but to become the double for a rich mafia boss’ daughter, Evie. She was groomed, harshly schooled, physically adjusted so it would be Christina who would be in danger as a decoy and Evie would be kept safe.
This is exactly what happens but the man who orchestrated Christina/Evie’s kidnapping, Roman did not plan of being so attracted to her. His possessiveness, jealousy, alpha territorial tendencies have all been released. Roman has issues that he has to settle with Evie’s mafia king father but he has no idea he really has Christina.
Both main characters are well flushed out and the background of South Africa gives a feel of adventure and the unknown to the book.
This is a page turning, tense, suspenseful , exciting adventure with a good amount of dark romance and unexpected HEA. A really awesome read, Charmaine Paul has once again proven she is an amazing writer of Dark Mafia Romance.
