Surrounded by three older brothers and a twin brother, Peyton has been taught that you stand down to no one. 

They say that discrimination of gender has been long gone but is that actually the truth? 

Now starting high school and thinking on her own, Peyton is beginning to think that isn't so particularly when it comes to her local race track. She realizes that being a girl in a male dominated sport especially one that deals with cars on a daily basis might have some consequences. 

Along with all other teenage stressers, Peyton's larger than life family deals with dysfunction, underage alcohol abuse, peer pressure, dating, sports, sexism, authority and insecurity. 

One girl can only handle so much. 
And dreams only get you so far.

74 parts Complete Mature
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.

"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.
