ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 15, 2025
I wasn’t the type of woman who indulged in one-night stands, but the irresistible Liam Powers managed to charm me right into his bed—then disappeared before sunrise. I convinced myself the night was nothing more than a reckless lapse in judgment…until he walked into my office weeks later, looking every bit as sexy and confident as I remembered.
Only this time, Liam wasn’t just the man who’d wrecked my self-control. He was the wealthy investor interested in saving my family’s struggling tech company.
I told myself I could handle working with him. That I could ignore the spark between us and the way he looked at me. Like he still remembered every place on my body that he’d touched. I warned myself not to fall for that flirtatious smile a second time. Liam Powers didn’t do relationships. And I didn’t do heartbreak.
But partnership has a way of breaking down defenses. Late-night strategy sessions turned into banter and stolen glances. A business trip together had me falling into bed with him once more. Because Vegas revealed a softer, unexpected side of him—one that made me question everything I thought I knew about love, trust, and taking risks.
Then came Liam’s secrets. His betrayal. And his revelation about someone I loved. And I had to decide whether to walk away…or believe in the man who was fighting for us with everything he had.
Because somewhere between enemies, lovers, and second chances, Liam Powers became the one thing I never expected…My future.

REVIEW: JUST A LITTLE DESIRE is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult STERLING FAMILY CROSSOVER erotic, romance series set in the numerous interconnected Dare, Kingston and Sterling family worlds, co-authored by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde. This is angel investor Liam Powers, and twenty-six year old, marketing director Morgan Starling’s story line. JUST A LITTLE DESIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Liam and Morgan) JUST A LITTLE DESIRE follows in the wake of a much needed investment into the Starling family owned business GalvaTech but much to their surprise Morgan Starling had a one night stand with investor Liam Powers, a man who ghosted our heroine the morning after. Working side by side brought our couple closer to together but a deeper dive into GalvaTech reveals there is more than meets the eye.
The world building focuses on the survival of the family owned business but a survival that hides a deeper, darker secret. Struggling to remain professional, Liam and Morgan will give in to their attraction but a perceived betrayal may break them apart.
The relationship between Liam and Morgan begins as a one-night stand that within weeks becomes a professional arrangement to save the Starling owned GalvaTech. Both having been hurt in the past, neither Liam or Morgan are looking for their own happily ever after but the heart wants something the mind doesn’t comprehend. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top sexually graphic language and text.
The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and energetic. We are introduced to Morgan’s father Samuel, step- brother Parker and his wife Becca, as well as Liam’s brother Simon.
JUST A LITTLE DESIRE is a story of betrayal, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined.
