Riding the edge...

When it comes to cars, former race driver Adam Richards knows how to maximize performance. Love? It doesn't come with a maintenance manual, and it's just as well. The secrets he's hiding behind his partnership in a racing garage don't lend themselves to lasting relationships. Now that Maggie Parker is back in town, though, he's got a few ideas to make her purr like a finely tuned engine.

Life taught Maggie that men don't stay. Leaving Adam before he got bored was supposed to protect her from heartbreak...only it didn't work. If helping her sister was the only reason for coming home, she might have got away unscathed. But the story she's been assigned to write is going to bring her within scorching distance of her old flame. Adam is as irresistible as ever-and just as stubborn.

He won't give her a story, but his offer of a no-strings fling is one she can't refuse. Passion pushes them to the limit, sparking Maggie's belief that loving Adam is worth the risk. Until she digs deeper and discovers some things just don't add up... Warning: Cornea-blistering sex scenes that use ALL the words, a hero to eat your heart out over and True Romance. Plus fast cars.
