Don’t You Dare: Alternate Cover by Ce Ricci (Paperback)

It was never meant to be more than a dare.

What starts as a simple party game quickly turns into something neither of them expected. One kiss is all it takes to change everything, leaving feelings impossible to ignore. For so long, he has been certain of who he is. So has Aspen, his best friend. But that single moment shifts the ground beneath them both.

Now, thoughts of Aspen refuse to fade. What once felt normal begins to blur into something more complicated, filled with questions neither of them are ready to answer. The connection between them grows stronger, fuelled by moments that linger longer than they should.

As the dares continue, they push boundaries they never imagined crossing. Each new challenge brings them closer, but also puts their friendship at risk. What they share is no longer simple, and the line between friendship and something deeper becomes harder to define.

With emotions building and stakes rising, he must decide how far he is willing to go. Holding on to what they had may mean letting go of what they could become.
