"i grew up on a dude ranch, sutherland. i could use a hunting rifle in my sleep."

                                    MOIRA MOFFET GAVE HER BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS TO NASCAR. She came from humble beginnings, raised on a small dude ranch in California alongside her four siblings. She was eleven years old when she first got behind the wheel of a car, sitting on her father's lap as he taught her how to drive stick shift. Twelve years and three lifetimes later, she's done it. She's made something of herself. She made her NASCAR debut when she was twenty-four, behind the wheel of the first ever Victoria's Secret racing stock car. Five years on, and she's the youngest woman to ever breach the top ten in the Cup Series standings.

             BUT THAT KIND OF SUCCESS IS NOT WITHOUT IT'S PERILS. From rampant sexism in American motorsports to death threats, coupled with varying ticks and social ineptitudes due to her autism, every race weekend feels like a fight for survival. Until her hotel room is broken into, the worst of the threats painted on her bathroom mirror in lipstick. Until an envelope full of photos clearly taken by a stalker is delivered to her team motorhome at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

                NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE RISK, RIA'S PR MANAGER CALLS THE FBI. Freshly back with the feds following a high-profile metro station bombing, Peter Sutherland is the unlucky agent who draws protective detail. At first, he's not sure what the big deal is: some NASCAR brat can't handle the pressure, the unwanted side effects of everybody in America knowing your face and name. Until he witnesses an attack on Moira first hand.

                THE LIST OF SUSPECTS IS BOTH TOO LONG AND NOT LONG ENOUGH. Most motorsports personalities in America have on opinion on Moira Moffet. She's a household name at this point. But a few names stick out on her list. There's Maddox Daulton, the hockey player ex boyfriend who showed up unwanted at her house for three days straight trying to win her back. There's Garret Pfeiffer, her disgruntled teammate over at Bennet-Deaver racing, who's entire contract rests on his performance this season. Performance that would be easier without Ria in the picture.

                WHEN PETER AND RIA START DIGGING INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES, WHAT THEY FIND IS EVEN DARKER THAN THEY COULD HAVE IMAGINED. Bennet-Deaver are in deep, with ties to sponsorship money out of Russia, backwoods drug deals, dirty cops and rich, powerful people who want someone to blame. Pretty soon, Moira isn't sure who she can trust. All she knows is that her bodyguard is hot as hell, and she'll be lucky if she can make it to the end of the season with her sanity intact.
