The Risk

In The Risk by Elle Kennedy, readers are invited to discover a captivating story of forbidden attraction, sizzling chemistry, and daring romance. Meet Brenna Jensen, the bold and fearless daughter of Briar's head hockey coach. Known for her rebellious spirit and independence, Brenna is used to being called a "bad girl." However, she has her limits—including never crossing enemy lines, especially when it comes to dating.

Jake Connelly is Harvard's star forward—a player on the rival team, who is as infuriating as he is irresistible. His cocky attitude and potent charm make him the last person Brenna wants to rely on. Unfortunately, desperate times call for desperate measures, and Brenna needs Jake's help to land a coveted internship. The only way to secure his assistance? Convincing him to be her fake boyfriend for a series of events.

Jake agrees, but on one condition: for every fake date, there must be a real one. When Brenna reluctantly accepts, she finds herself navigating a treacherous game of pretend, which becomes increasingly difficult as Jake's charm and allure begin to break down her defences. Torn between her growing feelings and the potential backlash from her friends, her father, and her future career, Brenna knows she's playing with fire.

The Risk is a thrilling romance where the stakes are high and the temptations even higher. As Brenna and Jake's ruse takes shape, the line between pretend and reality blurs, leading to a tumultuous journey of love and risk that could change everything.
