Diamonds in the Dust

Charmaine Pauls

A DARK MAFIA ROMANCE Men like us, we see things. We do things, things that make us unfeeling. That's the price of power and money, of living la belle vie and running the French mafia. Then she came along like a pretty wildflower pushing through the cracks on a dirty pavement - fragile yet resilient, a breath of beauty among the filth. She was supposed to be just another job, a nameless person I was to pluck from her life and hand to my brother, nothing but a pawn in the gamble of our diamond business. There's a psychological label for men like us. We lack empathy and guilt. We do things to have what we want, things that make flowers wilt. * Diamonds in the Dust is Book 1 of the Diamonds are Forever trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger. Diamonds in the Rough (Book 2) will be released on 14 July 2020, and Diamonds are Forever (Book 3) on 15 September 2020. Other novels in the Diamond Magnate...

We're destined to destroy each other, but we're going to finish this game, no matter how long or what it takes. In my line of business, every day dawns with the smell of death in the air. But it's not a bullet that's going to slay me. It's Sabella, the woman who was promised to me, the woman who betrayed me. I hate and want her in equal measure, an agonizing situation of my own making. We're heading down a path of destruction, but there's no turning back. At the first chance she gets, she'll stab me in the back again. She's a dangerous risk and a threat to my family. If I were wise, I'd eliminate that risk and leave her funeral to the sharks. I must be an idiot, because I'm going to finish what I started, no matter the cost. Note: Tears Like Acid is the 3rd book in the Corsican Crime Lord series.
