About this book

He's her biggest risk—and her only weakness. Brenna Jensen is bold, driven, and laser-focused on landing the internship that could launch her sports broadcasting career. The catch? The network's old-school executive expects her to show up with a respectable boyfriend in tow. Unfortunately, the only guy who can help her pull it off is the last one she should trust. Jake Connelly is cocky, infuriating, and plays for her college's biggest hockey rival.

But he's also magnetic in a way that sets her world off balance. When he agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend, he makes one demand: for every fake outing she drags him to, he gets a real date in return. Their arrangement was supposed to be strictly strategic. No feelings. No complications. But between the stolen glances, quick-witted clashes, and undeniable chemistry, Brenna's rules start to crumble. And falling for Jake Connelly just might ruin everything she's worked for. Set in the addictive Briar U universe, The Risk is a razor-sharp, emotionally charged sports romance that delivers the perfect mix of heat, heart, and humor. New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy's signature blend of slow-burn tension, a strong heroine, and irresistible banter makes this enemies-to-lovers story impossible to put down. Join the millions of readers who've fallen for the Briar U boys—and the women who change their game.
