Love was never part of the plan. Neither was Grady Carter. Willow Parks has spent years chasing the perfect shot, not the perfect guy. Covering the dirt track is supposed to be just another assignment—until she ends up in the orbit of Grady Carter. Hot-headed. Reckless. Every bit the cocky racer his last name promises. Everyone compares him to his father. Everyone doubts he’ll ever be more than Creed Carter’s son. Everyone… except Willow. She sees more. And that’s exactly what scares her. Because Grady doesn’t just want a chance on the track—he wants her. And once he decides something is his, he doesn’t let go. Fast cars. Loud nights. One stolen kiss that turns into something neither of them can outrun. Willow swore she’d never risk her heart. But with Grady, walking away might be the one race she can’t win.
