    About this ebook

    You can't trust anyone. 

    As Swan Pointe's famous gossip columnist, that motto has served me well. But I'm secretly tired of the gossip rag thing and planning to move on to greener pastures. 

    The last person I wanted sniffing out my secret was Dallas Huntington. Professional rival. Respectable investigative journalist. 

    Hot as sin. 

    His hotness wasn't supposed to matter. He was supposed to be out of bounds. 

    But one little incident changed everything and I found out Dallas has a power I didn't know about: the power to get me to open up to his touch, and even worse…

    To open my heart.

    I should've known, letting him in was a big mistake. That's what I get for trusting him or anyone. 

    No matter how he makes me feel. 

    Now that I know he's going after the same promotion I am, there's no happy ending. 

    Or is there? 

    BEAUTIFUL LIES is a 14,000-word, enemies-to-lovers standalone novella related to the Beautiful Rivers contemporary romance series. It features a spunky gossip columnist, a sexy reporter, and a life-altering elevator ride.
