The Date Dare by Tara Sue Me

Posted November 19, 2018 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance / 0 Comments

Who knew three words held such destructive power? No, not THOSE three words. I’m talking about the evil word trio that’s my own personal kryptonite, that stole my best friend, and took away the only woman I’ve ever loved:
I dare you.
 

I was six when Darcy Patrick moved next door.  By the time we were eight, we were best friends. 

At fifteen, I gave a classmate a black eye for calling her names.  At sixteen, she talked me through asking my crush to prom. 

I helped her get over her first heartbreak at nineteen.  Two years later, she returned the favor. 

It wasn’t until I was twenty-nine I realized I loved her.  And because I was too stupid to do anything about it,  at thirty, I lost her for good on a dare. 

Darcy Patrick is tried of watching her best friend, Elliott Taber, date the wrong kind of woman. When his latest flavor of the month walks out on him, she dares him to let her find his next date. Elliott agrees, but only after Darcy agrees to allow him to do the same. 

The dare is on. 

The dates take place on the same night. One is an epic fail. The other is just plain epic. 

Elliott isn’t prepared for the onslaught of emotions hitting him as Darcy seemingly finds everything she ever wanted with the man he set her up with. He should be happy for her. He should leave her alone. 

But he can’t.  So he makes one more dare…

With Christmas upon them, the Woodwards set out for Danby Castle and stumble across an overturned coach and a pair of handsome gentlemen in peril. Will this fateful encounter alter the future for both sisters and the likely plans the duke had in store for all of them? 

SAMANTHA GRACE’s THREE LITTLE WORDS… 
Disheartened but not defeated, Gavin MacBride temporarily abandon’s plans for restoring the family coffers to escort his sister-in-law’s long-lost relative to Yorkshire for a reunion.

With no carriages for hire at the local coaching inn, Gavin is resigned to give chase on horseback in inclement weather, but a Good Samaritan takes pity on Gavin and invites him to share his coach. Soon, the newfound friends are led on a merry chase that ends with a bold rescue and an unexpected discovery.

If Alfred can distract Judith from her fatal infatuation with Copley successfully, Danby will fund his bridge project. Distract, not wed.
