Iโm the type of girl whoโs given up on fairy tales. So when Beck โ the hot new busboy at work โ starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters arenโt for the average. I learned that the hard way.
But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?
Only thereโs so much more to him than that.
Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man Iโve moved halfway across the country to be with, whoโs laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.
But nobody does complicated like the one percent.
This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.
The more beautiful the lie, the more painful the truthโฆ
Iโve finally got feisty Georgina right where I want her. In my bed. In my swimming pool. Strapped into the kinky swing hanging in my home gym.

But, to my shock, Iโm beginning to think sheโs not the only addict here. Any more than sheโs the only liar. In fact, as crazy as it sounds, this fiery, relentless woman has been breaking down my walls. Burrowing underneath my skin and slithering her way into my bloodstream.
Indeed, when it comes to the indomitable force of nature that is Georgina Ricci, the gorgeous woman can have anything her heart desiresโฆ Well, anything, that is, besides the truth.
BEAUTIFUL LIAR is the second book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.
