The Dare: Remastered
The Heart Breaker Gang — Book 1 by romance author J. Kitana

This enemies-to-lovers romance is packed with tension, emotion, and moments that hit you right in the heart—you won’t want to miss it.

NaCara has one thing on her mind: getting Club Light Year back on its feet and getting people through the door. No one was going to distract her, not even her spoiled, wealthy, sexy boss Nick. NaCara and Drew have worked hard to get the club to where it is, without the help of co-owner Nick Carrington.

Nick also wants one thing: to come home and finally get a chance to dive back into Club Light Year. Being overseas pulled him away from his family and friends. It was cool when he was in his early twenties, but at thirty-one, it had gotten old. However, the fireball that was waiting for him at Light Year was enough to make him want to stay away, almost.

Two headstrong Alphas, Nick and NaCara, now have to learn to co-exist in the same space. Everyone around them is staying out of their way to avoid the fire building between the two or risk getting burned. That same fire that burns during club hours quickly spreads outside of the club, reigniting something in Nick, the need for love. Fiery princess NaCara may just be everything that he has been looking for. There is only one issue: she happens to be the unknown and secretive baby sister of Nick and Drew’s college best friends."
