Recent graduates of Middleton High test their bravery in the woods where legend says a girl was kidnapped by the Midnight Man, so when one of their friends does not return they become increasingly scared.

Have you ever had one of those really bad days at work? You know, one where your hot boss catches you photocopying your backside in his office? No? Just me then? I blame my bestie and partner in chaos. She challenged me with a not-so-innocent dare that I should've flat out declined. But I'm an adrenaline junkie, and now, here I am. I know it sounds crazy, and daredevil tendencies aside, I definitely went too far to get his attention. But you haven't seen him. Colton Wolfe. My boss. Tall, dark, and handsome, with the sexiest British accent I've ever heard. His only flaw? That he's completely oblivious to what's been right in front of him all along. Me. Well, he was until a few minutes ago. Remember those good old days? Before I got caught making "nice" with the copy machine, and before I was totally getting fired? But wait. Maybe I'm not. If I can take on the biggest dare of all. Making Colton Wolfe fall in love with me. The Dare is a full-length romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger.

In a deliciously sexy twist on the classic game, USA Today bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly proves that when playing truth or dare—always choose dare. After her one attempt at commitment ends in the worst kind of betrayal, Maggie Lawson vows that the only people she’ll love ’til death do they part will be her friends. Unfortunately that means Maggie letting her bestie rope her into a year-long dating dare: score a new date each month or pay a penalty. Seems doable—until Maggie’s date stands her up, leaving only one option: the sexy stud who just moved in upstairs. The problem? He and Maggie can’t stop fighting—and that’s just the beginning. His name is Tyler Wells and the last thing he needs is his neighbor distracting him with her girl-next-door smile and sharp tongue. Tyler’s in Chicago for one reason: to woo back his selfish ex in order to reclaim the child he once thought was his—and that means keeping Maggie out of his bed. A tall order, since Maggie has become a bigger temptation than he ever expected to face. But before they can even consider leaving the past behind, Maggie and Tyler must accept a brand-new dare: real, forever love. Praise for Truth or Dare “It’s clear from the beginning that all the snark between Tyler and Maggie is masking a powerful attraction that they both wish to ignore. Every time they resist just makes every time they give in that much hotter (and sweeter).”—Library Journal “Truth or Dare is a sexy, heartfelt story about hard choices, sweet temptation, and forever love!”—USA Today bestselling author Tina Wainscott “I so enjoyed this book! Incredible tension, a great cast of characters—undoubtedly all ready for their books—some very funny moments and lines (‘Friends don’t let friends take their wine home in a baggie’!) and some really gooey emotional conflict.”—Molly O’Keefe, author of Indecent Proposal “Delicious tension, raw emotion, and plenty of heat make Truth or Dare a sexy, witty read.”—Elisabeth Barrett, author of the Star Harbor series “Mira Lynn Kelly is a master storyteller, and she proved it again here. She crafted unforgettable characters that wormed their way into the reader’s heart. You could never go wrong reading one of her books!”—The Romance Reviews Includes an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
