About this ebook

Enjoy this spicy contemporary romance of fake engagement and revenge from New York Times bestselling author Shayla Black.

I agreed to be her fake fiancé her for revenge. Now I’m determined to make her my wife.

I’m Xavian Costa—financial master, maverick, and manwhore. Since my dad ran out before I was born and my best friend slept with the woman I intended to marry, I don’t get close to people. But Parker, who poached my ex, is now a bestselling author with a movie deal, and he’s modeled his villain after me to ruin my reputation. I want revenge.

Then his innocent little sister, all grown up, traipses into my office. To save her burgeoning business, she needs a fake fiancé. Since she’s the sexiest brunette I’ve ever seen, I’m happy to help—for a price.

We begin our whirlwind “engagement,” and I get to know Corinne, not as the gawky teenager I remember, but as a beautiful woman.. She’s sweet, sassy, and smart. I admire her kindness. I relate to her ambition. And I love the way she moans when I take her to bed. Soon, I’m falling and questioning my plans to use her to destroy Parker. But when our sham blows up in my face, I’ll have to prove to Corinne that I more than desire her until she agrees to marry me for real.

**More Than Desire You is part of the Reed Family Reckoning Contemporary Romance series, but every book can be read as a standalone. A HOT, romantic story with strong language, sexy times, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after!**

Ratings and reviews

Xavian wants revenge on his ex-friend Parker. So when Parker’s little sister Corinne asks him for help, of course he says yes. But that yes develops into so much more. Oh, this story put me (and Corinne) on a rollercoaster ride - atmospherically high highs, crushing lows and some red-hot steam - I loved every minute of it. An emotionally gripping yet extremely cathartic book.

Book eight of the Reed Family Reckoning series. Corinne goes to Xavian Costa—financial master for help with her business, not realizing that Xavian and Parker her brother are enemies. She needs a fiancé and he wants revenge. I enjoyed seeing them with their ups and downs get a happy ending. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Corinne and Zavian's story is dramatic, angst filled and will have your kindle smoking with the intense scorching chemistry developing between them. Zavian is one of the Reed family child and after being found a few years ago, he moved to Hawaii to be with his brothers and sisters. One day Corinne, his ex bff sisters shows up asking for help to get her trust fund which is controlled by her brother Parker to expand her business.
