DARING YOU by Jessie Evans A Cupid Island Wedding Novella All’s fair in love and war… Star Cavanaugh has never been able to resist a dare, especially from her best friend and co-worker, gorgeous bad boy, Damon Shine. But when a few too many drinks at a Las Vegas realtor’s conference ends with Star joining Damon on an all-expenses paid “love scholarship” to Cupid Island, she knows she’s made a serious mistake. Dare or no dare, Star’s not up for more than friendship. Every risk she has ever taken has been in the name of securing her financial future after her father abandoned her family. She takes risks in the name of safety, not adventure or romance, and is afraid even one step down the path to temptation will set her carefully ordered world to crumbling. Damon Shine is in love with his best friend, and determined to show Star that there’s room in her life for love and passion, as well as safety and security. But when Star discovers their love scholarship includes a wedding ceremony at the end of the week, Damon has to employ all his considerable charm to keep Star from jumping on the next ferry back to the mainland. The chemistry between them is as electric as Damon knew it would be, but will chemistry be enough to keep Star by his side? Or will Damon’s own demons be the thing that keeps best friends from finding happily ever after? Welcome to Cupid Island.
