Call Me
2022
Ariana Donovan has one final day in San Francisco before she has to go back to the boring small town life of Laurel Bay and she wants to make it a memorable one. Always the wild child, she’s never met a dare she could say no to. So when her friends dare her to introduce herself to the gorgeous man sitting across the café from them—and maybe have one last fling before going home—how can she resist? Will Jameson is more than ready to leave California and put his past behind him, but he still has one day left before flying east and returning to the Marines. He had plans to spend the day doing a whole lot of nothing. Or at least he did before a beautiful blonde walked over and invited herself to join him for brunch. How do you capture a lifetime of memories in one day? In the morning, they’ll go their separate ways, or will fate intervene?

Dare Me
2022
One year ago, Arianna Donovan and Will Jameson met on a dare and spent a perfect 24 together before going their separate ways. She thought they would stay in touch, but he disappeared without a word. Arianna thought she’d moved on. But when Will shows up at a family dinner with her older—and very protective—brother, she’s angry and confused. How could he possibly forget to mention that he was friends with her brother? No one knows about their past and Arianna wants to keep things that way. No matter how tempting Will is. When he walked away a year ago, Will thought it was for the best. Staying away from Arianna was the smart thing to do, especially with how protective her older brother—his friend and fellow soldier—can be. Time and distance will work wonders when you’re trying to stay away from someone. Now that he’s seen her again, he forgets all about doing the smart thing. He’ll just have to first convince her to let go of her anger and give him another chance. Will isn’t above playing the nostalgia card, and when he challenges Arianna to a sexy game of truth or dare, she can’t resist. Neither one is ready to tell the world what they’re doing, but how long can they possibly keep things a secret when there are Donovans ready to meddle around every corner?
