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. Instead, the golden boy of Briar U offers her an unexpected deal—pretend to be his girlfriend and keep the games going.

But behind his smirks and surfer-boy swagger lies a deeper story. And the longer they fake it, the harder it gets to deny the sparks flying between them.

What starts as survival in a world of social pressure becomes something else entirely—fun, freeing, and filled with possibility. But can a girl who's never felt seen learn to trust what's real?

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.
