Everyone knows the rules of the underground. When the championship ends in a dead tie, the racers don’t get a rematch. Instead, they hand over the keys and let someone else decide who deserves the title. No one expects champion racer Reese Callahan to choose his biggest enemy. Sloane Carter. The quiet girl who’s never raced. The girl who hates him. The girl with a past she’s spent years trying to bury. As Reese and Sloane are forced to work together, the rivalry between them slowly gives way to reluctant trust. But while the underground questions Reese’s decision, Sloane is hiding a secret that could destroy everything. Years before he was imprisoned for murder, her father was one of the most legendary street racers the city had ever known. Behind closed doors, he was also the man who stole her childhood, forcing her behind the wheel through fear and abuse until racing became the only thing she was ever allowed to be good at. Now, after years of running from the life she never chose, Sloane is being dragged back into it. With jealous rivals, dangerous secrets, and the ghosts of her past closing in, she’ll have to decide whether she’s willing to face the road that broke her—or keep running forever. Sometimes the fastest way forward is through the past.
