Dare

Rane Aldeweiss likes her life quiet - lesson plans, Sunday mornings at church, and the steady comfort of keeping her emotions in check. Love? That's a luxury she doesn't think she deserves. Stability is safer. Predictable.

Enter Jack Chandler - a rising artist with too many fans, too little sleep, and an ex-girlfriend making a dramatic comeback. When Jack impulsively asks Rane to pretend to be his girlfriend to save face, she agrees - because at least in a fake relationship, she can control the ending.

What starts as harmless banter and staged smiles turns into something dangerously real. Between late-night talks, shared coffee, and quiet truths, Rane begins to see the man behind the music - the one still learning how to breathe beneath the weight of fame.
But when secrets unravel and feelings blur, both must face the question neither dared to ask:
What if pretending wasn't the safest option after all?

Add one nosy best friend, a charming wildcard named Theodore, and a slow burn that feels anything but simple - and you get a love story that proves one thing:
Sometimes, the heart doesn't want easy.
It wants complicated.
