About the book:
Within
the last year, acclaimed fashion designer, Carmen Davenport, has witnessed the
ups and downs of being romantically linked to one of New York’s most prominent
men. On the heel of her engagement to Jay Santiago, a Puerto Rican businessman,
she learns her oldest daughter has been kidnapped. A direct result of an
ongoing war between her fiancé and a disgruntled drug kingpin, Carmen becomes
determined to put an official end to the conflict.
She sets out to track down
her daughter only to be met with unforeseen obstacles. A criminal
investigation, led by her soon-to-be ex-husband, Michael Kane, leaves her
fiancé behind bars. Due to Jay’s incarceration, Carmen is placed in the care of
his estranged cousin, Gully. He constantly reminds Carmen of the price of fame,
ultimately forcing her to take matters in her own hands. Determined to bring
her daughter to safety, she takes a no holds barred approach to ensure her
daughter’s return.
EXCERPT“So you want me to accept the fact that my daughter has been kidnapped?”Carmen looked over at Kane and shook her head. “I don’t even want to accept that. I most definitely wouldn’t tell you, too. All I know is what I’ve told you already. I guess we’re going to have to wait and see what the detective says. He probably knows more since they’ve been running tests.” Carmen bit her lip out of fear only because she knew she was withholding information from Kane. She was wrong in not telling him that Kristian’s kidnapping was a result of the beef between Jay and Blu, but she knew if she did, Kane would demand they return to Malik’s house. He would shoot Jay dead, Carmen thought. Humph, like I don’t want to do the same. The only thing stopping me is the fact that I’m in love with him.“Kristian never mentioned anything to me about having a problem with someone. She didn’t say…” Kane paused as he made a right turn, starting to remember a conversation he shared with his daughter. Shortly after Carmen announced she wanted to separate, he had come home to remove his items from their bedroom. Kristian had tried to talk to him about someone who was bothering her, but he had pushed her away. Now, she was gone and the only thing he had left was her cell phone and purse, which were miles away in Georgia.
Other Books in The Diamond Collection Series
Born and raised in
Greenville, South Carolina, Vogue’s journey through the world of creative
writing first began in middle school with poetry and songwriting. While the mix
of rhythm and words was the initial passage to self-expression, it was the
discovery of prose that opened the door to a world of endless possibilities. An
avid reader of Urban Fiction, Vogue felt the need to create literary works that
had an equal balance of street lit, drama, romance, and faith-based undertones.
A graduate of Winthrop
University (Rock Hill, S.C.), possessing a bachelor’s degree in social work,
Vogue, first birthed the idea of The Diamond Collection in the halls of her
alma mater. In 2003, she put pen to paper and thus was created, Diamonds In The
Rough, part one of The Diamond Collection series.
By 2010, Vogue had written
drafts of the entire ten book series and in June of 2010, Diamonds In The
Rough, was published for her to share with the rest of the world. Soon followed
by Diamonds Are Forever in October of 2010 and The Ace of Diamonds in February
of 2013, Vogue joined the league of other writers, determined to make her mark
in the literary world.
Still writing, Vogue released
the fourth book in the series, Black Diamonds, on July 4, 2015. She is
currently working on Diamonds N’ Roses, the fifth installment of the series.

Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your biggest success up until now?
ReplyDeleteHi Mai! Thanks for following the tour! My biggest success right now is having four books under my belt, all published independently. For the longest, I never thought I would be able to put a book out in print by myself, but to know that I'm doing it is my biggest success.
DeleteThank you so much for hosting! I will be checking in periodically throughout the day to engage with readers and answer questions! #RazzleDazzle
