The Dare

Does she dare...

To score the first-ever photo of reclusive business tycoon Jared Slade? Little does struggling reporter Rory Gibbs know she'll first have to get past his big, sexy bodyguard, Mark Hunter.

Can she dare...

Trust dark, dangerous Hunter? She gets her picture, but then Hunter tracks her down. He promises he'll get her an interview with his boss on two conditions: she hands over the film -- and gives him one kiss.

Will she dare...

Do what she really wants to with the gorgeous bodyguard? One kiss leads to an explosive encounter. And then another. And another! Rory quickly realizes that she loses all control around Hunter. But will she risk letting him get close enough to use that seductive power against her?

Yes!
