I Dare You: A Small Town Romance - Paperback

by Isla Stelmark (Author)

I never expected to find myself back in my hometown of Calla Bay. Not after I was humiliated and made a fool of by my brother's best friend. Sebastian Devereux made me feel things I had never felt. I gave him everything, only to find out it was all part of a dare.

Eleven years later, now my life that I had been so proud of in New York City was crumbling. I had lost my job and my friends. Worst of all, I had lost my sense of self. Taken from me by the person I thought was supposed to love me.

Being back in my childhood bedroom, jobless and alone, was not on my life's bingo card, so when my brother Luke gets me a job working for none other than Sebastian Devereux, I'm in no position to say no. But that doesn't mean I have to like it. He can keep his dimpled smile and charming words. They don't affect me like they did when I was a naive eighteen-year-old.

If I have to keep repeating that to myself every day like a mantra, reminding me not to let him get too close, then that's what I'll do. I fell for his charm once already; it would be stupid to do it again.

So why do I find my heart opening up to the one person it never should?
