The Dare (Briar U, #4)

by Elle Kennedy

“My mother didn’t raise a scoundrel, but I can be downright improper if you’re into it.”

I truly believe that all body types are beautiful. It’s only when I look in the mirror that I forget.

I’m an only child, and for a while I entertained the idea that having siblings would fulfill some hole in my life I hadn’t known was there. Well, I learned real quick that some people are built to share a bathroom and some would sooner poop in the woods than spend one more morning waiting for ten other chicks to finish brushing their hair.

They’re only a step or two on the evolutionary scale from feral chickens, but they’re certainly not boring.

Yup, hungering for Conor Edwards is very, very bad. Because he’s exactly the kind of man who will break my heart. Even if he doesn’t mean to.

“Edwards. I don’t know why I’ve been cursed with sitting through this dinner with one of you knuckleheads—I assume I ran over a unicorn or set fire to an orphanage in a past life—but if you act like an idiot tonight I’m going to have you doing bag skates every day until graduation.”

Brenna takes a performative sip of water from her glass because I guess it’s been five whole minutes since she was the center of attention and if boredom sets in, she self-destructs.

I’m too young to be this unhappy, and too loved to be this alone. I owe myself better.
