ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date January

My family sold me to a gangster.

And all he wants to do is corrupt me.

The first time we met, Carmine rubbed my face in the dirt.

The second time, I found out my family was selling me to him.

And the third time, he promised to drag me down to his filthy level and expected me to like it.

Carmine is a gorgeous billionaire with dark mob ties and wickedly twisted taste, and my family is horrible financial trouble. They’re desperate enough to take his money in exchange For my life.

Now I’m stuck engaged to a man that represents everything I hate. A man that wants to smear me with mud for his own sick pleasure. A man that thinks I’m too clean—and wants to make me dirty.

I’m nothing but a pawn to my family and a toy to Carmine.

But I have my own goals and I refuse to let my future husband ruin me.

I won’t survive to see my wedding night. But neither will Carmine.

REVIEW:BEAUTIFUL CORRUPTION is the first instalment in BB Hamel’s new stand alone contemporary, adult, erotic, Mafia dark, romance series. This is Mafia don Carmine Scavo, and oil heiress Brice Rowe’s story line.

WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Carmine and Brice) BEAUTIFUL CORRUPTION follows the arranged marriage between Mafia don Carmine Scavo, and oil heiress Brice Rowe. Seven years earlier, while attending the prestigious Blackwood College, Brice Rowe would be the victim of Carmine Scavo’s bullying, for no apparent reason than she was the daughter of a very wealthy man. Fast forward to present day wherein Rowe Oil is nearly bankrupt, and Brice’s father has been arrested for theft and fraud. With only one possibility to save the family business, Brice is sold to the highest bidder, Mafia don Carmine Scavo, the man who has haunted our heroine for as long as she can remember. With a promise to help save Rowe Oil, Brice is ‘gifted’ to Carmine Scavo, a gift that comes with a price but all is not well with the Rowe family dynamics, and Brice quickly discovers she is a pawn in a much larger game. What ensues is the tumultuous but building romance and relationship between Carmine and Brice, and the potential fall-out when the truth is revealed, forcing Brice to make a choice between family and love.

The relationship between Carmine and Brice begins as a business deal. Brice is a pawn; fodder in a much larger game, a game in which her father has chosen to sacrifice his only daughter. Carmine Scavo, now the new head of the Scavo family finds himself focusing on saving the woman that has starred in all of his fantasies and dreams but Brice struggles with her attraction to a man who has caused her so much heartache and pain; and Carmine knows it is only a matter of time before Brice discovers not all is at it appears to be. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense.

The secondary and supporting characters include Brice’s father Perry , and grandfather Graham Rowe; Greek mobster Stephen Panagos; Brice’s best friends Robyn, Sara and Cassidy, as well as several members of the Scavo Mafia family.

BEAUTIFUL CORRUPTION is a story of family, relationships, betrayal and vengeance; acceptance and forgiveness; love and happily ever after. The fast paced premise is twisted and tragic but not as dark as some other Mafia romances; the romance is provocative; the characters are determined, dynamic and animated.
