Taylor Marsh hoped college would be her chance to leave old insecurities behind and reinvent herself. Instead, she finds herself struggling to fit in with a sorority that seems determined to make her feel like an outsider. When she's given a dare she can't refuse, she reluctantly agrees to pursue the campus's newest hockey star.
Connor Edwards has a reputation for being charming, confident, and impossible to resist. Everyone assumes he never takes relationships seriously, making him the last person Taylor expects to show her genuine kindness.
What begins as a simple plan to fool Taylor's sorority sisters soon becomes something far more complicated. As they continue pretending to be together, their easy friendship grows into real attraction, revealing sides of each other that no one else has ever seen.
But secrets have a way of coming to light. As the line between make-believe and reality disappears, Taylor and Connor must decide whether they're willing to risk their hearts for a relationship that was never supposed to be real.
The Dare brings the Briar U series to a satisfying conclusion, combining heartfelt romance, humour, and emotional depth with Elle Kennedy's signature wit. Perfect for readers who enjoy new adult romance, college romance, fake dating, opposites attract, and hockey romance.
