Colt Reynolds has spent his entire life chasing one thing: a world championship. At twenty-eight, he's closer than he's ever been. One season. Twenty-two races. Thousands of miles traveled at speeds where a fraction of a second can separate victory from disaster. Colt knows the risks, knows the rules, and knows exactly who stands between him and the title. Josh Hamil. His oldest rival is talented, ruthless, and just arrogant enough to make beating him even sweeter. And wherever Hamil goes, Samantha Graves is never far behind. Colt has known Sam for years. Everyone has. She's the beautiful daughter of the billionaire who built the championship, the woman permanently attached to Josh's arm and photographed beneath every finish-line light. Colt has never had much reason to look beyond the expensive dresses, famous last name, and boyfriend he can't stand. Until he sees something he wasn't supposed to. One moment changes the way Colt looks at Samantha Graves. Then another makes him question everything he thought he knew about her. Beneath the carefully constructed image is a woman who knows racing nearly as well as he does, who can challenge him without trying, and who may be far less free than anyone realizes. Colt came into the season prepared to fight Josh Hamil for a championship. He never expected to find himself wanting the one person he was never supposed to touch. And in a world where every mistake is caught on camera, some lines are far more dangerous to cross than others.

(Updates are whenever, mostly once or twice a week on the weekends or Thursday or Friday. Please be patient as I spend a lot of time on my chapters, a lot more than you think!) Prompt 7: You write letters to your future self because the present hurts too much. Harper Raves was captain of the cheer team, valedictorian and had the highest SAT scores in the 10th grade. Unfortunately, last year her father died due to cancer and her mother became drunk. And once she became drunk, she was abusive. As Harper learns that life isn't a fairytale, she has to make a decision that makes it even harder to think about; leave her mother and start a fresh life or stay with her mother and become nothing. Eventually, she learned to zone everything out by writing letters to her future self. As she dreams of becoming a famous writer, she is never motivated to do it. Until the dream about her 7th grade English teacher, Abigail Greenmail hits her in the face, she finally gets the courage to get up and do it. Will Harper be able to overcome whatever it takes? Or will she keep falling and stay down? * * * This book was inspired by @Olivia_Benedetti 's contest: Blood, Ink & Destiny Prompts. Link is in the comments section of the first chapter.
