The Summer Dare

After a grueling semester, and losing Nana earlier this year, I’m ready for a peaceful summer in Seaside with my sisters.

Imagine my surprise, when I’m woken by the screeching sound of a saw coming through my wall, the first official morning of break.
Not only did I come flying out of bed swinging, but I gave Ryan, the unsuspecting carpenter the surprise of his life, when I came wielding my killer coat hanger and all. Too bad, I was only in a tank and undies and it wasn’t nearly as effective as I’d hoped.
Of course, Ryan insists he’s only doing his job, as it’s been paid for in advance.
Leave it to Nana to think of everything.
As it’s her last request to care for us, how can I refuse. However, there’s something about Ryan that just gets under my skin and I refuse to let a tall, pesky, sexy as sin, know-it-all get in my way of my summer plans.
For the next few weeks, I do my best to pretend I ignore Ryan – until my youngest sister throws down a dare I can’t back down from.
Kiss the next single guy who walks up to the bonfire – or explain to my sisters why I get riled up over Ryan.
When Ryan suddenly appears, I know I’m screwed in more ways than one.
Not only will my sisters find I’ve been keeping a secret, but from the determined look on Ryan’s face, I’m afraid he’s eager to reveal it to the world as well.
What have I gotten myself into?
As I walk toward him, one thing is certain – this summer dare will either make or break me.
