I Want You More
A ghostwriting gig in the Hamptons becomes far more than a job in this sexy, atmospheric, and deliciously tense story.
Reeling from her father's death, Zara Pines accepts a ghostwriting gig for celebrity chef Jane Bailey. Jane, star of the wildly popular cooking show 30 Bucks Tops, invites Zara to live in her East Hampton home for the summer. Zara doesn't want to go, but Jane insists.
As the two women create Jane's book, their attachment grows stronger. Zara, who's lost and in search of an identity, finds one in the shadow of Jane. She starts wearing Jane's clothes. And speaking like Jane. And adopting Jane's mannerisms. Eventually, the line between them blurs and Zara starts to see the side Jane keeps hidden from the cameras.
This dark and twisty novel about fame, lies, and obsession will make even the most open-hearted reader question how safe it is to trust the people they love.

Praise for this book
"A deliciously twisted love story that sneakily upends your expectations at every turn; a candy apple with a razor blade hidden inside."
--Graham Moore, Academy Award-winning screenwriter of The Imitation Game
"A one-sitting binge read, I Want You More by Swan Huntley needs to instantly be added to your summer beach bag! Intoxicating, sizzling, and utterly propulsive, I devoured this sensual, twisty suspense about a ghostwriter who gets swept up with a new gig in the sun-soaked Hamptons, and dangerously starts to get swept away by her subject, a charismatic TV cooking show star. This is one delicious ride!"
--May Cobb, author of The Hunting Wives
"I Want You More has it all. A modern, stylish thriller that probes the bleeding edge of self and other. Huntley's novel is sexy, propulsive, and damn good."
--Ivy Pochoda, author of These Women
"Unforgettable characters, sharp social commentary, twisty turns, and sky-high stakes--I devoured this book like a tasty treat made by Jane Bailey herself!"
--Katie Sise, author of Open House
"I Want You More, about a ghostwriter who falls for her celebrity chef client, has sharp bites. It's a darkly funny, sexy love story--a must-read for anyone who loves food and femmes. It'll make you laugh, it'll make you hungry...and, most of all, it'll make you thirsty, if you know what I mean!"
--Dibs Baer, author of Lady Tigers in the Concrete Jungle
"Like cinnamon Red Hots, this of-the-moment domestic thriller keeps you sweetly sucking away till it delivers the punch."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Deliciously disquieting...strikes a delicate tonal balance between seductive and serious...Readers who have ever wondered, 'Do I want to be her or be with her?' will feel a chill up their spines."
--Publishers Weekly
