The Dare by Elle Kennedy (Paperback)

College was supposed to be a fresh start, but for Kappa Chi pledge, the challenge she receives is anything but easy. Tasked with seducing the hottest new hockey player in the junior class, she feels trapped between the dare and her own reluctance. Conor Edwards, known for his charm, popularity, and easy confidence, is the perfect target—or so she thinks.

Conor surprises her by playing along, agreeing to the ruse while keeping their interactions private from the sorority sisters. As they continue the pretense, the lines between game and reality blur. His easy charm, playful teasing, and unexpected depth start to make her question everything she thought she knew about him—and herself.

Balancing her reputation, the sorority’s expectations, and growing feelings, she must navigate a delicate web of social pressures and personal desires. Conor’s life, hidden beneath the popular façade, introduces challenges and sparks that she never anticipated.

What begins as a dare evolves into a complicated dance of attraction, secrets, and self-discovery. With every moment spent together, the stakes rise, and she must decide how much risk she’s willing to take—and whether the gamble might lead to something real.
