The Dare is the first book in the Hard to Love series.
The story shifts when Alexa sees Caden caring for his little sister. This reveals a "sweet, single dad" (or guardian) dynamic that contrasts sharply with his professional life, showing that his "hard" exterior is actually a result of intense personal duty. The Dare by Kendall Ryan
Alexa must reconcile her initial judgment of Caden's career in the adult industry with the kind, devoted man she encounters in her personal life. The "deep story" is about her learning that professional labels don't define a person's capacity for love or character.
