In the small town of Rosen Cove, everyone has a reputation. Some are built on hard work. Others are built on speed. For Y/N James, Rosen Cove was once home—a place where she spent her days at her family’s mechanic shop, James Auto, dreaming of a simple future. But everything changed the night her mother was killed in a tragic street racing accident. Since then, Y/N has done everything she could to stay away from the world that took the person she loved most. Until the Brooks family comes back. The Brooks name has ruled Rosen Cove for generations. Colten Brooks is a racing legend whose legacy still echoes through the town, and his son, Ryder Brooks, is quickly becoming a legend of his own. Fearless behind the wheel, charming when he wants to be, and impossible to ignore, Ryder lives for adrenaline. With his toxic on-again, off-again girlfriend, Tory Nelson, and an endless rivalry with Raymond Jensen, the streets are his second home. When Y/N unexpectedly finds herself back at the races, Ryder can’t stop watching the girl who refuses to look his way. What starts as curiosity slowly turns into something neither of them expected. But in a town where everyone knows everyone—and everyone has secrets—falling for each other could cost them everything. As old wounds reopen, rivalries intensify, and hidden relationships threaten to destroy lifelong friendships, Y/N must decide whether she’ll continue running from the past or face it head-on. Because in Rosen Cove, loyalty is tested, families are divided, and one wrong decision can change lives forever. Some hearts are broken by tragedy. Others are broken by love. And sometimes… the fastest way to lose yourself is to fall for the one person you were never supposed to love.
