The Dare

He's the cocky hockey star with a secret heart. She's the misfit tired of playing by everyone else's rules. A fake relationship was never supposed to feel this real…When Taylor's mean-girl sorority sisters dare her to seduce campus charmer Conor Edwards, she braces for humiliation.

From New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy comes a swoon-worthy college romance packed with hilarious banter, irresistible chemistry, and a heartfelt journey of self-acceptance. The Dare delivers the ultimate emotional payoff for fans of fake dating, hockey romance, and body-positive heroines finding their voice…and their happily ever after.
