author: Dali, Leonardo
description: Subterfuge of the Heart, set in Baltimore, is about a young black man named Mike, who changes his life for the better and becomes a successful businessman. He has everything a man could want except true love. He desperately hopes to find the right woman, but instead he is often distracted by beautiful and dangerously beguiling women. It seems hopeless at first, though his wise mother attempts to guide him through this mysterious maze of lust and betrayal. His promiscuous best friend and business partner doesn’t help with his own sordid exploits. It all looks hopeless for Mike until he meets a diamond in the rough who changes his approach and stirs up a little controversy along the way.
