It begins with an envelope.
Months after surviving the chaos of LA's underground circuit, Erin Calloway and the crew receive an anonymous invitation to an exclusive race in Las Vegas, one that feels too calculated to ignore. With Dax Carter still haunted by debts he left behind and Erin searching for something she can't name, the team agrees to go.
Vegas isn't what they expect. The city is glossier, colder, and far more dangerous. The race is legal on paper, but the stakes are anything but. Erin is chosen as one of four drivers in a high-profile, invitation-only circuit, only to learn she's not there to win, but to lose. Behind the scenes, Dax is being blackmailed by Felix Mercer, forced to sabotage Erin's car or face the deadly consequences of her success.
Back in LA, the crew tries to settle, but peace is fragile. Dax, weighed down by guilt, drifts from Erin, leaving notes instead of conversation, unable to forgive himself for what he kept from her. Erin, though grateful he survived, can't ignore the silence between them.
Their bond repaired, they reclaim their place in the LA scene. But the past casts long shadows.
In Laps Between Us, trust is rebuilt, love is tested, and reputations are on the line. As the crew braces for the next wave of Mercer mind games, Erin and Dax must decide whether to follow the road in front of them, or pave a new one, together. Because some races aren't about the finish. They're about who you become along the way.
