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.
