Dare You

Sebastian "Bash" Vogel runs AnaVoge and dresses in women's clothes as part of who he is. He is playful, sure of himself and never short of admirers, but he keeps his private life uncommitted. His company and his closest friends are enough for him, and he intends to keep things that way.

That changes when a Chicago firefighter carries him out of a burning building. Kieran Bailey is a lieutenant at Station 73, and his crew teases him constantly about being the city's hottest fireman. He dates plenty of women and has no plans to slow down.

Kieran assumes he has saved another woman. Instead, he has pulled out Bash, a man unlike anyone he has met. The more he learns about him, the harder it is to stay away, and his settled world starts to tilt.

The two come from very different lives, and a relationship between them looks unlikely. This is a male/male romance that begins with an attraction neither man planned for, and it asks whether they will risk trying.

Dare You opens the Dare to Try trilogy, which is meant to be read in order. It is a spin-off connecting Ella Frank's Prime Time series and Brooke Blaine's South Haven series, though neither needs to be read first.
