Recently, author Tessa Dare (A Night to Surrender) asked her Twitter followers for suggestions of the most unromantic fruit. When that proved fruitless, so to speak, the topic turned to vegetables. Aspersions were cast on beets, broccoli poetry was written. "Now I want a hero to show up at a heroine's door with a bouquet of broccoli," I said. "Dare you to write it," said Tessa.
I confess, I cannot resist a dare. Or a Dare.
