Amara Ashford has always lived life carefully-structured, calculated, and far away from the chaos she once escaped. But when a family emergency drags her back to the city she swore she'd never return to, she finds herself stranded on a rain-slick street, suitcase in hand, pride in pieces... until a grumbling engine and a pair of midnight eyes stop in front of her.
Harris Bowers isn't anyone's hero. A streetdriver with a reputation built on speed and silence, he lives by two rules: keep your head down, and don't get attached. He knows the streets better than anyone, and he's made peace with the shadows he runs from. But the moment Amara steps into his car-and his world-something shifts.
She's polished, poised, and out of place.
He's reckless, raw, and exactly what she's been warned about.
What starts as a favor-a late-night ride, a few quiet conversations-unravels into something deeper. Amara sees the man beneath the hardened exterior, the heart behind the hands that grip the wheel like they're holding onto more than just control. And Harris? He sees the cracks in her armor, the fire behind her fear, and he can't look away.
But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets lurk in rearview mirrors, and when old wounds resurface, both Amara and Harris must choose: keep running from everything they've lost-or finally risk it all for what they might find together.
In a city that never slows down, can two broken souls learn to stop... and love?
