📚 BLURB 📚
A bad boy with something to prove.
A woman with a mission.
The race of their lives.
The love of a lifetime.
I don’t think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.
He's the fastest, fiercest driver around.
Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...
but his smile sends me to my knees.
The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....
This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I'm supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But it's an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation...or your curse.
He says he wants me. He says I'm the One. But he also thinks he'll break my heart, one piece at a time until it's gone.

📚 Excerpt 📚
I’m still reeling. While people approach him, he
cuts a path straight to me, his gaze penetrating and target-like; making me
want to bolt.
His lips do that little upward tilt they do that
seems so sexy, and for a second, I feel like I’m lightheaded.
I gulp, and then feel mad at myself for acting
like some idiot as fucking devil-Racer Tate reaches me, throws himself into a
seat next to me, and turns to look at me expectantly with the most gorgeous
grin on his face.
I don’t know what to say.
This guy has left me sort of speechless.
“So … ” I say, staring in the distance at his
beat-up mustang, then at him.
“So … ” he says too, in his deep voice, his smile
a little more wicked than it was two seconds ago. He glances at my mouth.
Oh god.
Why am I licking my lips?
It only made his eyes narrow and darken.
I
open my mouth to speak, failing to find words. He smells like sweat and soap
and shampoo, and I feel my traitorous nipples push up to my top again. Why do
they do that when he’s around?
“This is
illegal,” I state.
His voice is
husky from exertion, and his eyes glint with laughter. “That’s why it’s fun.”
I look away
from his eyes, trying to focus and clear my head. He leans over and peers into
my face, his face shadowed by the moonlight and his jaw now carrying a little
scruff. “Are we in agreement?” he presses.
“No.” I glare
and shake my head, meeting his cocky gaze. “You’re reckless, Racer.”
“So are you,
Alana.”
“It’s just …
Lana.”
His brows fly
up in surprise. “And a bit of a liar too.”
I purse my
lips, still glaring as my gaze goes back to his car. Girls are rubbing against
it as if it were him, and I find it disgusting. Why are women always acting so
slutty around race car drivers and bad boys?
“You crashed
your car,” I say flippantly.
“You crashed my car,” he contradicts, amused.
I laugh, then
scowl in his direction. “You crashed it more. I can’t believe you were making
such a fuss about me crashing into you when it was just a little kiss—”
He leans in
to peck my lips—fast but firmly. “That’s a kiss.”
I lose my
breath.
My eyes wide.
He eases back, lips smiling as he comes to his
feet and stretches his hand out to take me by the elbow and help me to my feet.
“Let’s get out of here.” He starts walking,
leading the way.
“And go
where?”
“Anywhere
I can get my hands on you.”
