Painted in gold, Jaslyn was born into a life of luxury with the world at her feet.
After the death of her father, his empire became hers and the princess became a queen. Painted in gold, Jaslyn was born into a life of luxury with the world at her feet.
Her fortune was sought after and deception and deceit had a ring around her finger.
But with the ring, came the accessories that money can’t buy.
At the hands of the new king, the empire began to crumble as Jaslyn’s world spiraled out of control.
Through the bars of her prison, she watched life pass her by.
Hope was fading quickly… until she met him.
Axel was the glimmer that she needed to survive.
From the wrong side of the tracks, Axel’s life was never easy.
He worked his way through the blood and sweat and went from rags to riches.
When you’re on top of the world, one mistake is all it takes to lose it all. And getting back up is always harder than the fall.
Getting his life back came with an offer he couldn’t refuse and he would pay the cost.
Jaslyn wasn’t part of the deal, but she was a temptation that he couldn’t escape.
She was his endgame and he would fight to the death to get to that finish line.
Together, they roll the dice and risk it all for love.
But when you gamble in the game of life or death, you pay a price.
And sometimes, that price could cost you everything.
C.M. Radcliff lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and two demon children. Known as the Psycho Queen, she speaks fluent sarcasm, dark humor, and has the mouth of a sailor. If she isn't reading or writing, she's probably on an adventure with her little family.

Sonja's Review
I didn’t know that Mirage wouldn’t be a standalone until I saw The Veiled Love Duet bit on the cover and I wasn’t necessarily happy about that, but cliffhangers don’t bother me as much as they used to because they don’t always drive me crazy with that grrr-argh I need the next book right now feeling. I didn’t know how Mirage’s ending would affect me, so I wasn't completely on board when I started, but that didn’t last long before I actually got into the story. I did figure out how the ending was going to go down right before it happened and I was a little annoyed at first but now I just feel meh. Mirage has its tough moments, but it’s a good book and I’m interested in reading Clarity when it comes out to see how everything all works out.
