"I dare you." Three little words I can't say no to—they have gotten me into plenty of trouble over the years, but this time I think I'll like the consequences. Mara: This is my first big event planning job—an Animal Rescue Charity Ball—and I'm hosting it in the hotel of the hottest man I've ever met. Of course, he wants nothing to do with me, so when my best friend dares me to pull him onto the dance floor, I'm considering failing my first dare ever. Sebastian: I wasn't ready to meet someone like Mara when she walked into my office many months ago, but now that I'm settled, I'm hoping to get a second chance at making a first impression. But after she pulls me onto the dance floor, I learn her weakness and the key to buying the time to show her who I really am—the perfect guy for her. Now all I have to do is DARE her to give me a chance. In preparation of National Rescue Month, this September your favorite steamy short romance authors join forces to bring you sweet and sexy tales of generosity and celebration. Join us at the #SavetheFuzzBalls Annual Charity Ball where animal lovers come together for their fuzzy friends and leave with passion and happily ever-afters.
