Intrigue abounds in this fun, sexy story about a debutante in disguise and a handsome race car driver who must solve a murder, save a life, and fall in love before they spin out of control. He's fast. She's furious. They're in for the ride of their lives. When sexy ​NASCAR racer Beau Lansing tracks down high society debutante Celeste Bennett, it's a matter of life or death. Stunned at the secret Beau reveals, Celeste is forced to make a life-altering decision. But with her love life on the skids and her family life in a tailspin, escaping incognito into Beau's world is just what she needs—especially if she can get answers about her past. Beau needs Celeste to save a man's life—he never expected a high-octane attraction that could wreck his well-protected heart. And when Celeste's life is threatened by someone who clearly knows her real identity, Beau has to risk everything—including his own life—to save her. With menacing forces in the driver's seat and time ticking too fast, the two must win the biggest race of all...the race for their lives and their love.
