Ellora's Cave
ISBN: 978-1-41991-187-3 Genre: Contemporary Format: e-Book
Carly has heard her share of lies, but the ones spilling out of
Alexander's lips beat them all. The gall of him, spreading nasty
rumors of them doing all manner of kinky things—even if she has
dreamed about it. Carly's determined to pay him back, and she's
wasting no time putting her perfect plan into action.

Torrid Tarot: Bona Fide
Liar was a pleasure to read and quick to boot. I completed the story
not too long after my wash finished. Ms. Garnier did a marvelous job
of entertaining and I welcome the opportunity to read more of her
work.
~ JERR, 5 Stars
Just when I was wondering if maybe I was totally suckered in by a
beginner’s lucky streak of good stories, Bona Fide Liar has sealed
the coffin shut. Red Garnier is the truth, the real deal and
everything great when it comes to hot and heavy romance. I am so
hooked on Ms. Garnier and her ability to create stories that speak
to my deepest fantasies; I can’t wait to see what freaky escapades
she comes up with next.

Bona Fide Liar is a
fabulous story. Red Garnier builds the sexual tension between Carly
and Alex in every word they speak to each other. Alex could come
across as a heel for his lies, but he really doesn't. He is just a
man, fallible and yet undeniably sexy. Carly's mixed emotions
towards Alex lead to sex scenes that will blow your mind.
Red Garnier continues to
amaze me with the depth of passion she is able to express in her
love scenes. Bona Fide Liar is a book you won't be able to put down.
Be warned though! You will need a cold shower or a hot man after
reading this awesome tale!

In a company striving to keep its workers happy, relaxed and
creative, it was not a good thing to spend a morning sulking over
creativity problems.
Rising from her desk and working the kinks out of her shoulders,
Carly decided to try to solve her dilemma by heading to one of the
“thinking lounges” off the lobby. She strode into the spacious,
ominously silent room, obviously the only person in the whole
company experiencing a block today.
That fact didn’t help lift her spirits at all.
Narrowing her eyes against the blinding sunlight that stole past the
tall arched windows, she crossed the room and plopped down on a
faux-suede orange beanbag in a far corner, grateful for the tall
recycled-paper screen that shielded her from view. Carly had lately
preferred this hidden spot because it was important her nemesis
never, ever know when she was having a severe brain crisis. She
would rather eat dog food than give him something to gloat about.
Okay, now think, she urged, dropping her gaze to the
black-and-white-checkered floor while she willed Ideas—the lifeblood
of her industry—into her mind.
Oh, Ideas, cooome to Carly…
When they didn’t immediately hop to, she closed her eyes and sighed.
Relaxation and a positive attitude were essential to creativity, so
she drew in several deep, steadying breaths and fought to welcome
Ideas into her brain. Anything at this point would have been
welcome. Even lousy Ideas. Of course, some good ones would be even
better. Good Ideas that would improve the Yoodle search engine,
their cash flow, their client base, their advertisers and more
importantly, her position in this company. Something that would beat
the ever-flowing, disgustingly genius ideas of her long-time
nemesis…
She’d been too busy struggling with her dilemma to realize several
of her male colleagues had settled down on the leather sofas at the
other end of the room. From their bantering and loud voices, one
would never guess they were seated in the modern, luxurious thinking
lounge of Yoodle’s Houston corporate offices. She could’ve sworn
they thought themselves drunk and in a sorry, cheap bar, because
they were discussing equally cheap topics of conversation. She
distinctly heard the phrase, “You check out her ass yet?”
The concept of the thinking lounge seemed to have escaped them
completely.
The recycled-paper screen, which now took on the importance of a
massive wall of fortitude, kept her presence unknown. Carly was
blissfully grateful for it, because she wanted no one running
upstairs to tell her odious enemy she’d been spotted at the thinking
lounge.
Not when he rarely seemed to have any troubles himself.
She’d already decided to ignore the intruders completely when her
name came up as the topic of conversation, and that was the sole
reason she was now spying on them. Really.
“I think I’m asking Carly Sanders to the three-year anniversary
dinner.” Now this was what had intrigued her. This
unwanted…invitation. It was Gregory Hutchinson speaking, a man she’d
spoken to three times at most in her whole career at Yoodle.
She dearly hoped he didn’t ask her, because she’d feel pretty bad
having to say no, or worse, saying yes out of politeness and then
pretending to get sick in order not to go. Gratefully, she heard
another voice, deep and husky and extremely sexy, say, “Sorry,
Gregg, but she’s already taken.”
“By who?” a third male voice she didn’t recognize asked.
“By me, you moron,” the sexy voice said.
Her heart skipped a beat when she realized that low, unfairly sexy
voice could only belong to one person on this entire planet. Her
nemesis. His name was Alexander Callahan, and he was only one of the
most creative minds at Yoodle, not to mention the proud bearer of
one of the largest egos in worldwide history. He was almost a god
around the office, which just goes to show what the world has come
to. The man was a real jerk!
“You’re taking Carly Sanders?” Gregory asked in disbelief.
“Yep.”
It was a staggering surprise to Carly as well.
She didn’t remember speaking to him recently, and that was not
something she would easily forget. Usually their conversations had a
way of replaying themselves in her mind, much to his sadistic
pleasure, she was sure. And to prevent her from doing that slightly
important thing called her job—which consisted, in short, of being
paid to think of something other than Alex and the haunting pair of
lips he just happened to own.
“That’s bullshit Alex,” the third voice, obviously belonging to a
genius, said. “She doesn’t even like you, man.”
“Don’t be stupid, Rock, the woman adores me.”
Carly was certain she hadn’t heard correctly. She felt many, many
things for Alexander Callahan, but adoration wasn’t among them.
She meant to keep it that way.
“Oh yeah? You screw around with her?” This came from Gregory. Carly
bristled at his insensitive words, and would have loved to jump from
behind the wall that separated them and shout, “That’s none of your
damned business!”
Instead she settled for remaining very still and held her breath as
she waited for the negative answer she was sure would follow.
“I just did her in the restroom.”
