Red Carpet Black

2019

An almost-been in his twenties, former actor Orson Beck can barely afford rent and child support on the pittance he earns at the grocery store job that was supposed to be temporary. His ex-wife left him for a more successful actor, and he’s too broke to be the kind of father he wants to be. Orson is about to give up his dreams of stardom and focus on being a single dad when he receives a mysterious invitation in the mail: he’s been nominated for the Onyx List, an honor that could revive his career … or kill it forever. When Orson makes the cut, his sudden success forces him to question every story he’s ever told himself about who he is. He isn’t sure what he really wants anymore—but the ultrapowerful agents who’ve taken him on are already working behind the scenes to make sure he gets it, no matter what the cost. By the time Orson realizes that his agents see his friends and family as obstacles to his success and have been working behind the scenes to isolate him, it’s too late to object to being a pawn in their Hollywood games. As his newfound fame and fortune grows, will Orson destroy everyone he’s ever loved to keep it?

From the best selling author of Pretty Killer, No Justice, and 12 comes Tell Me No Lies, a gripping new stand-alone thriller . Natalie hasn't thought about her sorority sister, Olivia, since she slept with - then married - the love of Olivia's life. Now she's living the life Natalie thought she always wanted. A nice house, expensive car, and loads of money to lavish on her two children. It's almost worth the frequent business trips her husband is constantly taking to feed all the bills. So when Olivia invites her out for drinks after two decades of silence, Natalie assumes all has been forgiven. She has no idea that Olivia's bringing irrefutable evidence that her husband has been cheating on her. And with more than one woman. As she digs into her husband's secret life, Natalie discovers that his cheating isn't even the worst he's drained their savings and racked up an impossible amount of debt in her name. She and the kids will be homeless in no time unless she can earn enough to pay it all back with interest - fast. But with a blank resume and a degree she hasn't used since graduation, the only jobs she qualifies for pay minimum wage. Olivia's got the play up her MILF-ish looks and make some serious bank as a high-class escort. Can Natalie navigate this world of sex, power, and money without forgetting the reason she's doing it - her children? A gut-wrenching, suspenseful thriller, Tell Me No Lies is perfect for fans of Darcey Bell and Harlan Coban.
