Just One More Dare is book two in the Sterling Family series and continues with the romantic suspense we came to love in Just One More Moment.
About Just One More Dare
This book starts out with Samantha Dare, the bride, having anxiety about her choice to marry Jeremy, her groom. When she overhears a conversation between him and his assistant, she knows it is time to end this farce of a relationship. She confronts him about what she heard, throws her engagement ring at him and runs out of the hotel just minutes before the wedding.
Dex Sterling is pulling in to the same hotel for a meeting with a friend, when he nearly runs Samantha over. After checking to make sure she is okay, she begs him to help her escape her wedding. He loads her in the car and she immediately locks the doors. While the bellman is loading her luggage in his car, Jeremy runs out and confronts Dex about taking his fiance.
Dex and Samantha drive away from the hotel, with no destination in mind. When she finally hears back from her cousin Asher, she asks Dex to take her to Teterboro airport. He asks her what her plans are and she explains her cousin has a home in the Bahamas that she is going to so she can escape from her almost mistake. Dex does not want her to be alone, so he offers to go with her. They stop by his apartment to get a few things and off they go.
Now realize that Samantha is Ian Dare’s little sister and Austin Dare’s cousin. And Ian is Dex’s former boss and Austin is his agent currently. Talk about a tangled web.
Did I mention that Jeremy is not only Samantha’s fiance, but also her business partner and roommate. Yet another tangled web.
Upon their return to New York City, Samantha must work through her tangled web, while Dex works to smooth things over with Ian. Years ago Dex and Samantha met a holiday party Ian had for members of the Miami Thunder, his football team, and their families. At that time, Ian prevented them from forming a relationship since he knew Dex was focused on football and he thought Samantha was too young.
Dex is worried about Samantha having to deal with Jeremy at the office and what he might try to do to her and to the business. Lucky for her, Ian knows everyone and connects her with an attorney to terminate the partnership. While the lawyer deals with the business, Samantha deals with the living situation.
Samantha is poking the bear in every way possible while separating from Jeremy. But Dex is there to protect her as best he can. Even to his own detriment. When the paparazzi starts to interfere and reporting on their relationship, Samantha gets stressed, Jeremy fuels the fire and Dex has to make some decisions about his new job.
When Samantha and her best friend and assistant, Brandy go out to dinner after work while Dex is at a business meeting, life will take a drastic change for everyone.
Will Jeremy be able to let Samantha go? Will Dex be able to convince Samantha he loves her, even at his own expense? Will Samantha see Dex as a rebound or a true love interest? Will Ian accept Dex as Samantha’s boyfriend? What secrets have been hidden and are now coming to light after the aborted wedding?
So many questions … so many potential outcomes. This story becomes intense and lives will be impacted and changed forever.
