In
a deliciously sexy twist on the classic game, USA Today bestselling author Mira
Lyn Kelly proves that when playing truth or dare—always choose dare.
After her one attempt at
commitment ends with the discovery that her fiancé already has a wife and kid,
Maggie Lawson vows that the only people she’ll love ’til death do they part
will be her friends. Unfortunately that means Maggie letting her bestie rope
her into a year-long dating dare: score a new date each month or pay a penalty.
Seems doable—until Maggie’s date stands her up, leaving only one option: the
sexy stud who just moved in upstairs. The problem? He and Maggie can’t stop
fighting—and that’s just the beginning.
His name is Tyler Daniels
and the last thing he needs is his neighbor distracting him with her
girl-next-door smile and sharp tongue. Tyler’s in Chicago for one reason: to
woo back his selfish ex in order to reclaim the child he once thought was
his—and that means keeping Maggie out of his bed. A tall order, since Maggie
has become a bigger temptation than he ever expected to face. But before they
can even consider leaving the past behind, Maggie and Tyler must accept a
brand-new dare: real, forever love.
Excerpt
from
Truth or Dare
“Tyler’s
Kiss”
“Wow, that was— I didn’t really— But I
should have—” Maggie stammered breathlessly, trying to force herself to let
Tyler go. Step away and put the distance they needed back between them. Only
with their eyes locked, breath mingling in the chilled night air, and the kiss
she should have known better than to ask for still fresh on her lips, the most
she could manage was flexing her fingers enough so her hands were free to coast
down the thick column of his neck, over the front of his coat, and when the
temptation was too great, back up again.
She didn’t want to let him go—didn’t
want their moment to end.
“With your other dates,” Tyler began
slowly, his eyes squinting closed. “Do you ever let them kiss you more than
once?”
She wanted to laugh, because the idea of
willingly letting any of those other guys back at her mouth was beyond
ludicrous, something she ought to have had some smart quip about—only in that
moment nothing seemed funny.
This was the end.
Forcing a shaky breath, she shook her
head. “No. Never.”
Tyler nodded, his eyes dark and
unsettled. “Good.”
His jaw set as though he were getting
his head back into the right place. The place where they moved on from a kiss
the intensity of which she couldn’t remember experiencing before and, putting
it behind them, went forward as friends.
Like she wanted.
Deep down, she knew it was true, even if
it didn’t feel that way right then.
The hand at her hip tensed. And when she
looked back into Tyler’s eyes, she saw the dying embers of a conflict she
hadn’t realized he was fighting. A conflict she didn’t fully understand until
the divide between them closed again. Tyler’s lips came down on hers, hard, and
then he was holding her so tight, and her hands were in his hair again, pulling
him closer as he bowed her back, devouring her mouth like he was starved for
the kiss he’d just had. Groaning against her when she met his hunger with the
equal of her own.
Her back hit the door and everything
inside her went hot and liquid, needy and intense. Any shred of control or
restraint tore free of her grasp, violently stripping her thoughts of reason
and rules. Because all she wanted was this.
Tyler.
Reminding her of everything she’d
forgotten.
Teaching her things she hadn’t even
known.
Waking the places within her that had
been numb for so long, they burned coming back to life.
