Diamonds in the Rough: A Diamond Magnate Novel

by Charmaine Pauls

Overview

"She's a pretty wildflower destined for my brother's vase. I'll make her mine, even if how I do it will make flowers wilt."

A DARK FRENCH MAFIA ROMANCE
Girls like me, we know how to survive.
We each have our own little ways, but we acquire those skills at the same tender age.

If you ask me how many times a person can die, I'll tell you many times. As many times as a man stabs you in the stomach with betrayal and wrings out your heart with lies.

Girls like me, we live.
We don't get a choice.
We step over the cliff and fall.
Eat, sleep, die, and repeat.

About the Author

Charmaine loves to write dark and edgy romance that will melt both your e-reader and your heart. She's a mom of two teenagers, an adorable dog, and a dominant cat. Her country of birth is South Africa where many of her stories play off. Her French husband kidnapped her to the south of France where she currently lives with her family. When she's not writing, you'll find her in the kitchen baking cakes or in the gym lifting weights (because ... all those cakes!).

Editorial Reviews

"A brilliantly written dark scorcher of a book, Diamonds in the Dust is my favorite read of 2020!"

New York Times Bestselling Author - Anna Zaires

"Can a psychopath fall in love? This is the question that not only we, the readers, ask ourselves. Max seeks the answer too, going as far as to consult his shrink. Charmaine plays her two main characters beautifully, like a virtuoso. She gets you inside their heads. She makes them matter."
