BURNT RUBBER ; HARRIS BOWERS

In Ironwood, the engines never stop and neither do the ghosts.

Seventeen-year-old Briar West knows two things for sure: how to drive like hell, and how to survive without a father. Jax West was a street racing legend before he vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but oil-stained clothes, a broken
family, and a daughter who inherited his fire.

Briar's been drifting through Ironwood ever since; keeping her head down, tuning up her old ride, and pretending she doesn't care why he left. But the streets whisper his name like a curse, and the faster she goes, the louder the questions become.

Then there's Harris Bowers: cocky, untouchable, and everything she can't stand. He's got money, a reputation, and a girlfriend who fits into his world like she was born in it. Briar? She's just the girl with grease under her nails and something to prove.

But when old secrets start bubbling up from under the hood and the past roars back to life, Briar's forced to choose: chase the truth, or burn out trying to outrun it.
