When faced with a choice between saving the world and reclaiming your one true love...why not take both?

Secret agent Macy Rush is on a mission: find the counter-code that will thwart an impending terrorist attack. But her operation goes from bad to worse when she discovers the New Orleans mansion she must search is now owned by rival spy Dante Burke—the man who betrayed her in the most intimate and destructive way.

As lead agent for The Arm, an elite, black-ops division of the CIA, Dante has already searched the house from top to bottom. Though he’s come up empty, Macy insists on checking for herself. Dante agrees—for a price. During the day, he’ll help her try to save the world. But at night, she will be his.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This novella was originally published by NAL/Penguin in a collection with bestselling authors Cherry Adair and Jill Shalvis in 2005.  It's probably one of the most sensual stories I've written, but I still made substantial changes for this digital re-release...why?  Because of reader feedback!  I tweaked the circumstances and turned up the heat.  I hope my new readers will go along for the wild ride while Dante desperately tries to repair the one relationship that matters to him...in time to save the world.  Happy reading!

DARE ME is the beginning of a crossover series from NYT best-selling author, Julie Leto. The new DARE series has its roots in her DIRTY series. In DARE ME, two former lovers now nemeses have to team up to locate a computer code in order to avert the launch of nuclear weapons. Be warned, while that clock is ticking, the emphasis isn't on the the world threat. Spy master Dante Burke betrayed the woman he loved. In the aftermath of that situation, Macy Rush ditches the ultra covert CIA group the Arm and moves to the mercenary spy group, T-45. Circumstances force them to work together in the close confines of a Garden District home in New Orleans. Dante has every intention of seducing Macy and this is the focus of this short novella.

Originally published in an anthology, this story is now the opening of Ms. Leto's newest thriller DARE series. This is a sexy read which uses the world conflict as a backdrop to the personal conflict of the hero and heroine. If you keep that in mind, you'll likely enjoy this book as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seduction and steam without too many details
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2012

This was a short story, but reference to a love in the past that was torn apart by a misunderstanding, provides the relationship that is missing in many short stories, where the author has to come up with some `love at first sight' scene that is usually not believable and hard to connect with. A brief explanation of their prior love affair allows the majority of the story to focus on the current day chemistry between the two .

While there is only one sex scene which is not overly detailed, there are several scenes were the seduction is steamier than many sex scenes. ******Spoiler Alert***** Dante talks Macy into a deal where Macy agrees to make love any way Dante chooses each night. Macy plans to give her body, not her heart, but Dante has other ideas. After seducing Macy to the point where her body craves Dante's touch, Macy begins to undress only to be told by Dante that she won't be removing her clothes tonight. Clearly disappointed, she says, "You said we would make love here. That was the deal." He tugs her close and continues the dance saying, "We are making love. In ways we never have before." Ooh la la! Way to go Dante!

In addition to the romance, the plot is well thought out and believable, with just the right amount of suspense. I really loved this book. While I lean heavily toward the free ebooks, this is an author I would pay to read.

I had such high hopes for this story. The summary really grabbed my attention ... secrets agents on a mission to save the world and an old flame coming back after almost 10 years. This book had the potential to be really good, but it fell flat. The cover led me to believe there was going to be some serious heat between Dante and Macy. The romance was blah. The mission seemed and agencies seemed way off the grid. I wish the espionage part was a little more plausible.

Two people from different intelligence agencies are looking for a code that will stop the next World War. The problem is that they are former lovers. This short story is about love, betrayal, and what happens when you don't get both sides of the story. I love the characters. But there were some drawbacks. I didn't feel the pull of love between both characters, and there were some grammatical mistakes that took me out of the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it immensely
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012

I usually don't write reviews for the books I read, especially because I don't want to openly admit that I buy romance novels. Dare me was actually a book that I would not only admit to liking but strongly recommend, though probably only for kindle with that cover picture. The plot is very good. All the scenes were well written and the intimate parts were not overwhelming and were tastefully done. Something that I find is increasingly hard to find at my current budget for books. I think that the list price of $0.99 is quite appropriate given the length of this well written story. Sorry, no spoilers or plot summaries in this review. You'll have to read it for yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Macy and Dante
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2013

Very sexy story. I wish it was longer. I loved Macy and Dante, but I wanted more. I wanted to watch them rediscover each other and their love in a longer time frame, and that's just me; the greedy reader. The plot was very intriguing, but I didn't get that sense of urgency I needed to feel in the scenario presented. There were some very interesting characters that showed up, like Sean Devlin...he sounds like such a bad boy. I want to know more about him too. Dare Me definitely whet my appetite for more by Julie Leto. I really do hope more readers want more of Macy and Dante so that Leto entertains the possibility of a longer story in the future, where readers can reconnect with them.

I found this story trite. I usually have very sound reasons for not caring for a book, but this one just never got off the ground for me. I finished it, but at no point while reading it did I feel very interested in it.

It had me guessing all the way through, which i think makes it a good story--that is, when you cant guess what Dante had done to gain Macy's hatred--and i wasnt disappointed with the result. I enjoyed it.
