\"Romance with a need for Speed\"

Haley lives in a small town in North Carolina, where sweet tea flows freely and the love of racing runs deep. It only made sense that her writing adventure kicked off with a fast-paced racing romance! A lifelong book lover, Haley spends her time reading, writing, and helping fellow indie authors with everything from graphics to formatting to finding their next favorite readers. When she's not lost in fictional worlds, you'll probably find her on the beach making sure the sea turtles are living their best lives—or hanging out with her husband and her wild, wonderful teenage boys.

My career had been built on two things…Fast Cars and Winning.

Until a curvy brunette with piercing blue eyes crashed into my life, making my pulse race.

Opposites attract...

She hides in the shadows not wanting to be noticed. I crave the limelight, the fans and the adrenaline.

She wants to take life slower. I live mine in the two hundred mph lane.

When my playboy past comes slingshotting into our lives will she put on the brakes.

Or could she turn out to be my Driving Force?

That’s all it took for me to go from stock cars good time driver to doting husband.

She had to put that ring on my left hand now the media thinks we’re married.

With a young hot shot driver joining Mac Motorsports and my contract up for renewal I can’t afford a scandal.

Two months that’s how long I have to play the part of the perfect husband.

Only problem, we can’t stand each other.

She may have gotten us into this but I’m the one that’s gonna drive her wild.

Amelia Maddox, top female pilot in the country, lead instructor, and off-limits. So off-limits it’s almost laughable. But that doesn’t stop me from craving her.

With every sharp command and icy glare it only makes me want to push her more. She may be all steel and discipline but with each touch, and each stolen look we share I see her control slipping.

I don’t just want her; I want to unravel her. I want to see what she looks like when she loses control. She may have mastered the skies, but on the ground. She’s about to learn that I always get what I want. And what I want is her.

Amelia Maddox, top female pilot in the country, lead instructor, and off-limits. So off-limits it’s almost laughable. But that doesn’t stop me from craving her.

With every sharp command and icy glare it only makes me want to push her more. She may be all steel and discipline but with each touch, and each stolen look we share I see her control slipping.

Some love stories don’t get a second chance—unless you’re brave enough to fight for it.

Olivia Flynn was my first everything—my best friend, my wild-haired, soft-hearted, curvy girl who saw the quiet boy living in his brother's shadow.

But the night I left for the Air Force, I didn’t just walk away from our town—I walked away from her. Left her barefoot in the rain, wearing my sweatshirt, begging me to stay.

I told myself it was for the best. That she deserved more than late-night calls and broken promises.

I was wrong.

Now I’m back—older, rougher, and still wrecked by the memory of her lips on mine and the fire we never put out.

She’s built a life without me—her dream bookstore, her peace, and her defenses. I might be the last person she wants to see… but I can’t stay away.

I want it all—her forgiveness, her fire, her heart. And I’m willing to go through hell to have my second chance with her.

Being a single dad to my sassy, free spirited eight year old daughter Izzy, and working at Mac Motorsports my personal life is pretty much noexistant.

But Izzy has other ideas.

On our annual trip to see the mall Santa for Christmas she wishes for a new mom.

Just as Izzy’s telling the mall Santa her wish I catch sight of the hottest elf I’ve ever seen. Her delicious curves wrapped in a pink elf dress.

Sparks fly just from our innocent touch as she hands Izzy back to me.

When I see her again, she’s my daughter’s new substitute teacher.

I know it’s not just luck.

If I can convince her to take a chance on me, maybe my daughter will end up getting her Christmas wish after all.
