The Story
Briar Rose has a secret.
One she'll do just about anything to keep.
She's nobody.
One night. One dare. One mistake.
She betrayed me.
I don't forgive, and I don't forget.
And I don't do second chances.
Because in my world, betrayal is paid for in blood.
And I want her on her knees, begging.
I'll rip down every wall she's built,
burn every bridge she thought would save her.
Run, Little Rose, I dare you.
But remember, even Eden couldn't keep out the Devil.
Dare Me to Stay is book two in an interconnected dark mafia romance series, and does contain dark themes that may be triggering to some. This book can be read as a standalone, but for the best reader experience; it is recommended to read the series in publishing order, as the books and characters do interconnect.
