Book 3 of the Infinity Times Infinity trilogy
Titan Racing Series
He won the championship. He won Daytona. He won her heart.
But when the pressure catches up, Ryan McAllister starts to lose something else: himself.
As the reigning Cup Series champion and a soon-to-be father, Ryan is supposed to be on top of the world. But what begins as a string of bad luck spirals into something deeper.
One wreck shatters his rhythm, and the fire suit that once made him feel invincible starts to feel like a cage. Every lap becomes a reminder of who he used to be, and who he's terrified he can't be anymore.
And in the shadows?
Alex Duvall. Young, cocky, hungry. Ready to take Ryan's crown, his headlines, and maybe even his place in the garage. The media fans the flames, sponsors whisper, and rivals circle. Suddenly, everyone's asking the same question:
Is the king slipping? Has the fire burned out?
Ryan's instincts hesitate. His confidence wavers. His seat doesn't feel so secure. The pressure of fatherhood, the fear of failing, and the weight of expectations threaten to consume him, until he remembers who's waiting for him at the finish line.
Mikaela, his country music superstar wife, sees through the silence in his eyes. She knows his fire. She feels the hunger under his hands. And together, they'll weather therapy sessions, public scrutiny, sleepless nights, and one unforgettable race day when everything changes.
Because Ryan McAllister doesn't stay down for long.
And when he finds his fire again?
God help anyone who thought he was finished.
This time, he's not just racing to win.
He's racing for legacy, family, and the woman who reminds him exactly who the hell he is.
A full-throttle emotional ride about falling apart, rebuilding stronger, and choosing each other again and again. Sometimes the finish line isn't a checkered flag. Sometimes it's a newborn cry in the middle of the night. And sometimes, it's love that teaches you how to start over.
She was his coworker. She was his close friend. She was his cousin. These were all things I knew. There were just a few crucial components to their connection of which I had been unaware. She had been his crush. And now he was hers.
