Carter Kensington is charming, funny, and kind—he’s Briar Roses’ most eligible bachelor, a billionaire who drives fast cars and curates priceless paintings. While he’s never been particularly glamorized by his wealth, he’s certainly used to getting everything he wants. Except when it comes to her. A fact that drives him crazy. Maybe even crazy enough to abandon his riches and try to pursue a fresh start. Key word try. 

Sarafina Devereux might seem like your average girl next door, except for the fact that she grew up in the elite upper echelons of society. A budding artist—equal parts prankster and ball of anxious nerves, she always did find it hard to ask for what she wanted. Especially when it comes to her older brother’s best friend—the orphaned neighbor boy she grew up crushing on. Their long running game of Truth or Dare—her only way of getting his attention. Little does she know… she’s always had it. 

Both Carter and Sara keep their own secrets, but when a tragic death turns everyone’s lives upside down, and a villainous Secret Society pulls the strings in the background—hard enough to snap. Carter will do whatever it takes to protect the girl he’s always loved… even if it means turning morally gray to save her.

Dangerous Little Dares
Book 1: The Society of Secrets
Dual POV, Open door, steamy romance.
Pages: 652

Dangerous Little Dares is a slow burn, friends to lovers romance—a romantic comedy smashed up with a romantic suspense. It’s sexy, dangerous, thrilling and hilariously clever. Heartfelt and emotional, it will make you laugh, cry, and clench your thighs.


This is Book One in The Society of Secrets, a series of happily ever after standalone romances that follow a group of friends from Briar Rose Estates—a luxurious and treacherous world of billionaires. Each book ends in a HEA for that couple, but in order to enjoy the juicy chaos that unfolds across the series, you'll need to read the books in order.

Prologue: I HATE GAMBLING
Carter
I was dealt a damn good hand in this life. Some might even consider it an unbeatable hand. But there are three things I wish I could put back in the toothpaste tube.
One. Being orphaned at the tender age of fifteen.
Two. Subsequently inheriting the responsibility for the family estate, all its related assets, and the mess my father left behind the moment I turned eighteen.
Three. I sure as hell never asked to fall madly, deeply, in love with my best friend’s little sister.
But here’s the thing, with cards, you get what you get. And with toothpaste, you can’t put it back in the tube, no matter how hard you try.
Now, obviously, there’s nothing I can do about the first two problems—
The third, however, isn’t so much a problem as a waking nightmare. Just so we’re clear, I’ve tried to ignore my feelings, but that’s basically like pretending to be a non-sentient sea slug. No eyes. No feelings. No problems.
Right?
Abso-fucking-lutely wrong.
To put it lightly, she is the gravity my world revolves around.
It’s like playing a constant game of tug-of-war that I’m never going to win. Like Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders—only I’m not an all powerful Titan—and the force I’m fighting is way more powerful than gravity. It’s a mischievous ball of sunshine with a smile that pierces right through your very soul and trying to stay out of her orbit is a futile.
Some might say I have it all, power, status, wealth, but when it comes down to it—I can’t afford the most important thing of all—because she’s not for sale.
So, it doesn’t matter that I was dealt a damn good hand because here’s the thing about playing cards—no matter how good your hand is—somebody’s always sitting on an ace.

Chapter 1: Cupcake or Bride
Carter
I scrubbed a hand down my face and paced, knowing I was running out of time. Sara was already on the auction stage looking like a frosted cupcake—or a bride. I couldn’t decide which. Either way, it was only a matter of minutes before some schmuck was going to bid on her, and there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it.
Not officially, anyway...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "If I could give this book 6 stars I would. There's a mix of comedy, spice, danger and a heroic save a few times. I love the relationship between all the characters." - Goodreads Reviewer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I was absolutely hooked from chapter 1! Completely invested in Carter and Sara’s story. Am I disappointed it’s over? Yes! But I cannot recommend this enough! Blown away with the tension, twists and turns and the love pouring from this story! Add it to your TBR!!" - Goodreads Reviewer

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "...What I loved most is how the story balances swoony romance with darker undertones—a secret society, family tragedy, and the kind of morally gray choices that keep you flipping pages. If you’re into forbidden love, protective heroes, and heroines who find their strength, this one delivers.
💔🔥 Truth. Dare. Love. Betrayal. This book has it all." Good Reads Reviewer
