Beauty in Deception

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

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 15. For 10 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 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.

Glad to get another!

I just recently asked for smother South African book and C,P. delivered and I know there is more to come with how this o e told out, at least I hope so! It was not heavy in the way she usually writes it I spent my monthly credit on it because I want all her diamond magnate books and more if they’re SA and narrators are the same or just as good!
