In the gritty heart of Detroit, where broken dreams litter the streets like rusted-out cars, Aurora "Mack" Mackley Sinclair is fighting to rebuild more than just engines-she's rebuilding her life. Raised by an abusive father and a mother who checked out long ago, Mack learned early that survival meant grit, hustle, and protecting her siblings at all costs. Her escape? The roar of an engine. Under the hood is where she finds control, peace-and power. Now, she's wrenching for Detroit's underground street racing elite.
But Mack doesn't just want to fix the cars.
She wants to drive them.
The speed. The thrill. The freedom. Racing is her shot at something more-her way out of a life that's always kept her in the rearview mirror. But in Detroit, racing is more than just a game. It's dangerous, dirty, and deadly. To chase her dream, Mack will have to risk everything: defy her broken family, face down brutal street rivalries, and confront the ghosts that still chase her through every gear shift.
Enter Kiernan James Blackthorn-Detroit's reigning street king. Cold, calculated, and faster than anyone else on the pavement, Kiernan is everything Mack can't stand... and everything she can't ignore. Their rivalry sparks like friction on hot asphalt-volatile, electric, and impossible to outrun. But when rivalries turn personal and hearts get tangled in the wreckage, Mack has to ask herself:
Is the need to win worth losing everything else-including herself? Or can the right kind of fire be the one that saves her?
Midnight Asphalt: Fueling the Fire is a high-octane ride through betrayal, desire, and the fierce fight to take control of your story-no matter the scars left behind.
