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.
