After a devastating crash, elite motorcycle racer Nicky Gamble wants to get back to the racetrack, but this quiet cowboy knows he's going to need help getting there.
He just didn't count on the help being a spitfire of a trainer with a killer work ethic, a sharp tongue, and a sweet smile.
From the wilds of Wyoming to the flashy racetracks of Europe, Nicky will contend with rivals, injuries, rehabilitation, and of course...the yearning of his heart.
This romance is filled with snappy one-liners, excitement, relatable but witty characters, and a glimpse into the high-stakes world of racing.

One For The Road
"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. *** Katie Moore is a controversial figure in the car racing world with several strikes against her. One, she is a female. Two, she is a female with opinions. 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.Concluida

I laugh before I looked up and he pushed me against the counter and set the glass down beside the apple. "Then this serves you right." Was all he whispered and I backed up completely to the cabinet and he placed his hands on the counter on either side on my body. "Um... S-Sammy? What are you doing?" I panicked looking anywhere but at him. "Look at me." He whispered and tilted my chin up to face him with his index finger.Concluida

Remind Me « Chase Elliott »
Chase Elliott had it all - a promising racing career and possibly the love of his life by his side. But what scared him the most wasn't the racing, nor moving up in the NASCAR series, it was the fact that he was so in love that it caused him to step back and because of that, he ruined the one thing that was good for him. Was it possible to have a second chance after screwing things up? ** If time could be rewritten, Sadie Mae would tell her younger self to run away when she met Chase Elliott, because he's not worth the heartache that he put her through. He's not worth the constant thought of "what happened between us" and he's certainly not worth falling in love with all over again. When Sadie's hopes and dreams fall at the wayside, she finds herself in a situation she never thought possible - how one night with Chase changes her future for the good, and maybe, after all this time, this is what her dream should have been in the first place.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed. "You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." ********************* Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault. Feeling empty for reasons she's not yet sure of, she's adamant on chasing anything that makes her feel free. Meet Colt--living the country life, private, stubborn, outspoken. Feeling empty for reasons he's well aware of, he hides in his daily routine. Grace can't seem to figure out why she holds nothing back when it comes to Colt. He's absolutely infuriating. Colt can't seem to understand the affect Grace has on him, and why he cares what she does. She's entirely maddening. When the two get lost in the wilderness, it's up to Colt to get them back. Can they put their differences aside long enough to survive? Is it Colt who will save Grace, or is it she who will be his saving grace?

Under the Hood of Us
"I didn't fall for him because he's fast. I fell for him because when everything crashed- he was the only one who stayed and helped me rebuild. And yeah, maybe I cursed him out half the time... but I'd choose him, Miss Beast, and the madness all over again." - Lily Sethers ----------------------------- "She didn't fix my car. She fixed me. And I'd burn down every track, silence every engine, and destroy the world with my bare hands... if it meant keeping her safe." - Daniel GerlandConcluida
The Troublemaker's Team
He was brooding and silent, She was the life of every party. He was the popular hot guy, She was the crazy new chick. Yet... He was the sugary sweet one and She was the unpredictable spicy one... 💕💕💕 I glanced at Ellie who gave me a thumbs up, making me laugh. I looked between the twins as they kept the goofy grins on their faces. "Choose me, Penny!" Mason encouraged. "No, choose me, Penny!" Jason countered. I bit my lips as I tried to control my laughter. I kept looking between the twins as they glared at each other while smiling charmingly at me from time to time. "I will choose..." I trailed off as I kept glancing between the two. "Me." I suddenly felt a big, warm hand grabbing mine and pulling me up from my seat. I gasped in shock as an angry Damien wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. 💕💕💕 A little bit of sugar and a little bit of spice can make everything nice... 😉 💕💕💕 Part 2 of the Best Friends series. Can be read as a standalone.Concluida
The Biker Girl
Growing up in Fort Collins, Colorado, being a biker was definitely not uncommon. In fact, if you didn't have one member of your family own a motorcycle, you probably weren't from there. Elizabeth (Liz) Collins wasn't a stranger to the speed of life. Her family owned a Motorcycle shop and her brother won every race he signed up for. So when he loses one, she's all the more intrigued by who he's lost to. Jason Morris was very keen to let people know who he was in his new town now that he'd moved in with his father. More specifically, he wanted to prove himself to his Motorcycle Club as the newest Prospective Member. Step one: beat Eric Collins in a motorcycle race. Complete. Little did he know that Eric's sister would be the one he'd end up trying to impress. A story of stolen kisses, stolen love, and stolen property. They're both about to break the law in every form possible. But to stay together, some shit has to fall apart. - "You're very good at sweet nothings." I had said after our third round. "They're easy to come up with when the subject is as-" I placed a kiss on his lips to shut him up, not accepting another compliment. I sat straddling his legs again, running my fingers up and down his chest. "Seriously, if you don't stop I think I'm gonna hide underneath the covers." He wiggled his eyebrows and lifted the blanket below him. "I'd be down for that." I gasped and whacked him on the shoulder repeatedly, until he flipped us over and was on top of me. He placed his legs on either side of mine and ran his hands through my hair, staring at every part of my face. "Where have you been all my life?" "Waiting." - live on the wild side.
