Join Bart’s Books for an evening with Swan Huntley, author of this summer’s hot thriller I Want You More, in conversation with Danica Nava on Thursday, May 30th from 6 - 7 pm!

Reeling from her father’s death, Zara Pines accepts a ghostwriting gig for celebrity chef and Martha-Stewart-wannabe Jane Bailey at her house in the Hamptoms. As the two women create Jane’s book, their attachment grows stronger.

This dark and twisty novel about fame, lies, and obsession is a sexy, of-the-moment, and deliciously tense summer read.

“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

“Like cinnamon Red Hots, this of-the-moment domestic thriller keeps you sweetly sucking away till it delivers the punch.”
—Kirkus Reviews
