“It was never just friendship. It was always more. I just wanted you more.”

In Wanted You More, B. Celeste brings an emotionally raw, slow-burn, best-friends-to-lovers dark romance that aches with tension, guilt, and longing. The story revolves around Braelynn, a girl who grew up in the shadow of pain, and Sebastian, her best friend—the boy she always loved but never dared to claim.

As they grow older, their bond becomes more complicated. Braelynn battles inner scars, trauma, and grief that weigh her down. Sebastian, the boy who was always there, becomes the man who wants to stay—but their love is anything but simple.

This book explores emotional trauma, slow recovery, and the consequences of bottling feelings for too long. It’s not a fairytale; it’s messy, beautiful, and honest.

Their journey is filled with:

Years of unspoken tension

Deep personal healing

Slow-burning romance with intense emotional payoff

Navigating love after trauma

Celeste doesn’t shy away from heavy themes—she embraces them. The writing is lyrical, the characters are beautifully flawed, and the story will make you pause, reflect, and maybe even cry.
