I know, I know… Dare Me To Stay, AJ???

It doesn’t exactly follow the first book’s title pattern. And to be honest, I agonized over what to call this book. Dare Me To Stay was the working title for the manuscript while I tried to decide whether to follow the same title pattern as book 1 or if I should switch things up.

Ultimately, I didn’t want to go too matchy-matchy with this series. While it would be good for branding, it just didn’t feel right to me or right for this story. And as my wonderful editor, Nicole, reminded me: No Promises, No Lies worked well as a title because of how it related to the story and the characters within.

So, long story short:
