"Oh my god, this Corvette is so fucking sexy." I ran my hand along the peeling red paint. It wasn't in the best condition, but a Corvette was a Corvette. "Can I drive it?"
"There's no engine. We used it for parts," Drake said.
My heart sank into my stomach, and I let out a wheeze. "You what?"
"We were running low on funds, so we did what we had to do," Josiah said. "It never meant anything to us anyway."
What the fuck?
"How the hell can you call yourselves a racing team if you're willing to do that to one of the best-looking cars ever made?" I shook my head. "It's disgusting."
"What? Racing?" Drake's mouth fell open. "Oh my god, no. We wanted a driver."
I looked over at Josiah, then Drake. "I drive cars for a living, therefore I'm a driver. What's the confusion?"
"You said you drove for RTR," Josiah said.
I nodded. "Yeah, Roger Truscott Racing."
"Oh no. Oh my god. Look, in our line of work, that means Real Time Robotics," Drake said.
"Robotics? What the fuck is going on?" I asked.
"You wouldn't happen to know much about combat robotics, would you?" Drake forced a smile, and it wasn't difficult to see the hope leave his eyes.

And three, she is a female with opinions who thoroughly enjoys sharing them with no inhibition. A one-track mind (with a few side streets), all she wants is to win a race to shut everyone up about her mistakes and misfortunes.
But when she's down on her luck, a team of nerds finds their way into her life, giving her an offer that she probably should refuse.

Under Pressure // Aaron Hotchner
"To live every day as if it had been stolen from death, that is how I would like to live. To feel the joy of life, as Eve felt the joy of life. To separate oneself from the burden, the angst, the anguish that we all encounter every day. To say I am alive, I am wonderful, I am. I am. That is something to aspire to." - Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain Published: July 2, 2020 Completed: February 18, 2024 Disclaimer: 1.

So when a single, scorching glance from Formula 1's infamous "Ice King," Lorenzo Vitale, catapults her into a global scandal, she's forced to make a deal with the devil himself.

No messy complications. But Lorenzo is a man who thrives on control, and Rhea is the one variable he can't calculate. Behind the staged kisses and paparazzi-perfect smiles, a dangerous game begins. Every touch feels like a lie that's too real, every whispered endearment in her native tongue a crack in his icy facade. He called this a contract with no feelings involved. But when the line between performance and passion shatters, they'll both discover that some risks lead to ruin-and others to a love so consuming it could destroy them both.

Bow-Legged
Shall we do an experiment? Hear me out: an enemies-to-lovers where love is complicated but never toxic. Where the female lead knows what she wants and takes it. Where the male lead doesn't growl, rage or slam her into walls. A journey with all the angst, secrets, spice and heartbreak of dark romance without the abuse. Are you ready? ******************************************** It's 1984, Queen on the radio and rage in the streets. Moira Bourne, stretched thin between her nanny job, family drama and university classes, fights for the recognition she deserves. Evander Ward, fresh from a gap year in Europe and eager to prove himself, is ready for redemption. Two people whose paths were never meant to cross. When they do, the collision blows their life to smithereens. ******************************************** "Pass the tea, will you?". It came over me - it being it all, the shame, the anger, the sense of injustice and the nine hours I hadn't slept the night before. Those, maybe, more than anything else, because I reached for said tea and, possessed by that mighty cocktail of resentment, spat in it. I did so making sure he could see it, he could hear it. Then I passed it over to him and waited. His smile, at this point, had turned overjoyed, putting the previous ones to shame, revealing their graft. He had received the answer he was hoping for. He took the cup and chugged it down. Looked me straight in the eye and drunk it all. ******************************************** Fair warning: mentions of racism, ED, assault, sexism, and classism ahead. You know where your limits lie.

Stunningly Ruined
~ I put my foot down and drive to the first corner. The track is always wet at the start of the day as the water truck is able to go out and keep it that way, but by the end of the day all the water will have been used so it will be bone dry and that's when the real fun begins. I pull the hydro, the chrome shaft that's connected to my rear brakes, to lock the rear wheels so I can initiate a drift. I feather the throttle accordingly as to keep the car sideways and continue onto the next corner... This is it. Nothing else matters. Just me, my car, their car and the sound of tyres tearing rubber against the drying tarmac... ~ ~ "Laurie, you got something..." He trails off as his thumb brushes my lips enough to turn my head towards him. Before I know it, the space between us is closing and my body is frozen. His lips draw ever closer to mine and involuntarily, my back arches so my mouth presses against his. My lips burn with passion as I find myself unable to stop kissing him. My rational side kicks in and I pull myself away from him. What the hell am I doing? ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laurie Williams is a wreck of a woman. Alcoholism and not giving a damn are her two main personality traits. However, when her tightly knit friend group of girl car enthusiasts find a car club to become a part of, she starts to come to life. For a moment, she leaves her old life behind. But it always finds her again. On a downward hill spiral from the beginning, she loses friendships, relationships and even herself. The only thing keeping her afloat is her love for cars. Can she hold onto that love? Or will her former demons continue to ruin her? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Complete

"I'm I'm this class, this is my other class I was telling you about on Saturday, oh do you remember Saturday?

"Look I'm sorry, the boys wanted to speak to you guys today but I thought you'd be better off without us" what did he mean? That made no sense. "Save it, you knew we'd ruin your reputation since we're outcasts and you're popular and all" he raked a hand through his hair at my statement. "Look, it was scary how fast we got along, it took me months to befriend the lads and with you... and the girls, it was so easy, I won't lie though I wasn't sure how people would react if we hung out but then I realise none of them people mean anything to me, they're nobodies" ***FOLLOW ME FOR RESTRICTED CHAPTERS***Complete
