Dare to Fall

My friends just dared me to ask the most annoyingly decent man I know to be my fake date to the gala. One night. Show up, smile, make my ex jealous. Go home. The plan is simple. He plays the part, I get closure, and we both walk away like nothing happened. Except nothing about him has ever been simple. He's steady. Faithful. All dimples and thick-framed glasses, the kind of man who shows up when it matters-and somehow sees more than I ever say out loud. And the longer we pretend, the harder it is to remember what's real. I'm so busy trying to make the wrong man jealous, I almost miss what's happening right in front of me. When I thank him for this favor, he answers like he's teasing. "You've found my weakness." "And that is?" I ask, but I can hear the truth behind it. "You." It was supposed to last one night-a fake date, a favor, a friend I was never supposed to fall for. It doesn't. Because some dares remain forever. Dare to Fall is a clean, slow-burn Christian romance filled with fake-dating tension, friends-to-lovers longing, achingly honest faith questions, and swoon-worthy almost-moments. Perfect for readers who love protective heroes with terrible dad jokes, heroines learning the difference between striving and remaining, and love stories that lead you straight back to grace.
