Dare You to Love by Amanda Siegrist

He’s looking for a fresh start.
It wasn’t supposed to include her.

He’s done his time, but once a felon, always a felon. Nobody lets him forget that. Dare needs to leave town, get a new start somewhere else where no one knows him and what he’s done. If only it were that simple. Not only is it impossible to find the right time to tell his sister he’s hitting the road, he meets a woman who gets under his skin without even trying. There’s something about her that he can’t resist. And she knows it. So when he’s asked to do something that could send him spiraling back into his old life, he wants to say no. He wants to run in the opposite direction and never stop. If only she’d let him.

Vacation time is meant to relax, not bring the stress and tension bearing down on her. Of course, meeting a man who challenges her in so many ways, well, Julie can’t ignore that. Nor can she combat the desire that attacks her body every time he looks her way. Fighting comes easy to them, and so does the pleasure. It should be just sex, yet it’s turning into more than she bargained for. It would never work between them. She works for the law, and he…is only trying to find a new path, and she respects that. If only it were that easy.
