More Than Possess You

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black returns with a story in her More Than Words series...

I persuaded my best friend that I should be her first...

I'm Hayes Elliott. Since second grade, I've had one best friend, Echo Hope. When she graduates from college, of course I have to give her something amazing. Since I'll be on a business trip to Maui, I'm bringing her along for a week of fun and sun. But once she sheds her long skirts, serious buns, and combat boots for bikinis, I can't deny how stunning she is...and I can't stop wanting her. Worse, she's determined to lose her V-card--and has asked one of our man-whoring buddies to pluck it.

I've got to step in.

It's underhanded, but I offer to do the job properly. Since I'm no one's Prince Charming, I have no intention of following through. Suddenly, the kisses start and the clothes come off...and I can't remember why I'm not supposed to make her mine in every way. Or why I shouldn't be in love with her. But if I want Echo for more than a vacation fling, I'll have to fight. And she's about to find out how determined I am to upgrade my best friend to wife.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it's an introduction to an author's world. And for fans, it's a bonus book in the author's series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**
