Moving to your late father’s hometown was supposed to be a fresh start. Instead, you find yourself in a place where engines roar louder than rumors, midnight races decide reputations, and everyone seems to know more about your family than you do. While your brother is pulled back behind the wheel for the first time since your father’s death, you’re drawn toward the one person everyone tells you to avoid. Quiet, tattooed, and impossible to read, Malachai carries the kind of reputation that keeps people at a distance—but every time trouble finds you, he’s already there. As old rivalries ignite, friendships are tested, and buried secrets begin clawing their way back to the surface, you realize your father’s past never truly stayed in the past. In a town built on horsepower and half-truths, the finish line isn’t the only thing people are racing toward. Some secrets were meant to stay buried. Some hearts were never supposed to race.
