after dare

Anna-Grace Thompson and Caleb Kingston weren't just a high-school "thing"-they dated, fell hard, and survived the kind of relationship that leaves marks long after graduation. Now freshmen at different but neighboring universities, they're stepping into a world that's faster, sharper, and far less forgiving than Lakewood ever was.

Anna enters City University's School of Business carrying the weight of a powerful family name, where reputation is currency and mistakes are remembered. Caleb dives into the relentless logic of State Tech's engineering program, where precision, patterns, and promises define who he is. Though their campuses-and academic paths-are different, they remain tethered by shared history, trust, and the quiet understanding built long before college.

This novel is the second installment in the "it's a Dare"series, following Anna and Caleb as their relationship evolves beyond high school and into a life shaped by ambition, legacy, and the challenge of growing up without growing apart.
