DARE TO LOVE, my contemporary romance from Samhain Publishing, is releasing in print!

A romantic game of chicken—and they’re both too stubborn to flinch.

Lucy Fairchild, lawyer and heiress to the Fairchild fortune, has just had the worst day of her life. Her father has found the perfect man for her to marry. Yes, she’s thirty and single, but that doesn’t give her father the right to run her life. She’ll choose her own husband—someday.

Jake Dalton is struggling to make his fledgling construction company a success. Ever mindful of his father’s derogatory comments that he’d never amount to anything, he’s spent his entire life trying to prove he’s not a failure.

From their first meeting on a construction site, verbal sparks fly. Their argument escalates into a dare for a date—and the game is on. Lucy thinks Jake is the perfect fake boyfriend to parade around in the hopes of getting her father off her back. Jake is amused by the chance to annoy both Lucy and her dad—he doesn’t intend to take the dating thing seriously.

But the heart is a fickle thing, and not above playing dirty. In their quest to prove something—to each other, or maybe to themselves—they find themselves building a case…for love.
And suddenly all the rules have changed.

Fallen Angel’s Reviews

Jaci Burton is one author you can always count on to write wonderful, sexy romances. Dare To Love is a great story where opposites attract…Dare To Love has some nice love scenes and Jake is one man you wouldn’t mind taking home to meet your parents. If you haven’t had the chance to pick up a Jaci Burton novel, I recommend you start here with Dare To Love!

Jaci Burton is a fantastic storyteller and Dare to Love keeps you glued to your seat from the very beginning. I read this all in one sitting – I could not put it down. The characters are so real and believable. Lucy’s initial reaction to Jake is charming and funny. They both struggle with their own issues of insecurity and together they discover a lot about themselves. I am Joyfully Recommending Dare to Love and it is definitely one for the keeper shelf.

Hey I have a new book releasing May 1st! Actually, you may already be able to find it via online bookstores or even at the bookstore, so let me know if you see it when you’re out and about or shopping online.

Note: This is not an erotic romance. It’s a contemporary romance and one of my favorites, about a construction worker and an attorney who think they’re all wrong for each other. I love this book. Okay, I say that about all of them, don’t I? :giggle:

A romantic game of chicken—and they’re both too stubborn to flinch.

But the heart is a fickle thing, and not above playing dirty. In their quest to prove something—to each other, or maybe to themselves—they find themselves building a case…for love.
