Too fast, too furious—and way too hot to handle…
Mackenzie Cox has a lot to prove. Daughter of a racing legend, she is eager to show the world that she has inherited her father's talent in the male-dominated sport of professional motorcycle racing. The last thing Kenzie needs is to be antagonized by her rival team's newest rider, Hayden Hayes. Plucked from the world of illegal street racing, Hayden immediately gets under Kenzie's skin. His insinuations that Kenzie is a spoiled princess who was handed her career fuels her desire to win, and much to her surprise, Kenzie soon learns she performs better when she's racing against Hayden.
As Kenzie and Hayden push each other on the track, the electric energy between them off the track shifts into an intense—and strictly forbidden—attraction. The only rule between their two ultra-competitive teams is zero contact. Kenzie always does her best to play by the rules, but when her team slips into a financial crisis, she has no choice but to turn to Hayden for help. The tension simmers during their secret, late-night rendezvous, but Kenzie has too much to lose to give in to her desires. Especially when she begins to doubt that Hayden has completely left his street life behind...
“Do you have any idea who this guy is, and why the hell he’s on
our track?”
Myles tilted his head as he thought. “Don’t know, but if he’s on
the track before noon, your dad must have hired him. The Bennetis know not to
break that rule. Not after what happened last time.”
The last time a Benneti stepped foot on our track before they
were allowed to, that Benneti had found himself duct-taped to the flagpole in
the middle of the track. Naked. Of course, the Benneti team had gotten us back
by breaking all the windows in the garage doors. They were still boarded over,
since we couldn’t afford to fix them yet. For the sake of our bank account, Dad
had ordered every Cox racer not to continue the paybacks, no matter how
warranted they were.
Ignoring Myles’s chuckle, I renewed my inspection of the racer.
The new rider was fast, and ridiculously good—his setup on the corners was
perfectly timed, and he kept his body low, hanging off the bike so that nothing
was over the center line but his outside arm and leg; his “triangle of
daylight”—the space between his inside knee and the bike—was so beautiful that
Dad would probably photograph it and hang it on his office wall. Considering
the furious competition at the professional level—races were won or lost by
mere seconds—and considering how much time, energy, and resources were spent on
training new riders, I wasn’t too surprised this guy was top-notch. With the
upcoming racing season so close, any person Dad brought onto our team would be
impressive. Dad wouldn’t settle for anything less than amazing; he couldn’t
afford to. Yet another reason I was feeling a profound pressure to perform.
There was no free ride for Jordan Cox’s daughter; I had to earn my place, same
as everyone else.
When number 43 finally finished his set and slowed to exit the
track, Myles let out a low whistle. “Not bad. He reminds me of you.” Frowning,
I peeked up at him. His dark eyes sparkled with amusement. “No guts, no glory,
balls-to-the-wall racing, like you have something to prove every time you go
out there.” He raised a dark eyebrow at me, but I remained silent. Having to
prove myself was a daily occurrence, and Myles knew that.
The rider exited the track at the same place where we were
standing with our bikes. He slowed to a stop directly in front of us, shut off
his motorcycle, and removed his helmet. My jaw dropped to my chest, and my eyes
bugged out of my skull. No. It was not possible. But the long-dulled desires
starting to tingle back to life at just the sight of him told me it was possible.
The man who was proudly wearing the number 43 was the same drop-dead-gorgeous
man who’d won the street race early this morning. What the hell was he doing
here—on my turf—looking for all the world like he belonged?
In the bright sunshine, I could see that his eyes were actually
a light shade of green. There was a devious glint in them that silently
promised that every day with him would be even more intriguing than the last.
Add that to his dirty-blond hair, rugged jawline, perfect bone structure,
athletic build, and perfectly full lips that hinted at a treasure trove of
untold pleasures, and you got a man who attracted a lot of attention everywhere
he went—as I’d witnessed last night by the swarm of groupies surrounding him
while he’d been illegally racing.
No way. There was no way Dad had hired this guy!
Hopping off his bike, the stranger ran a hand through his
sweat-soaked hair. The shaggy strands were sticking up every which way now, and
the chaotic hairstyle was too damn appealing. A small groan slipped from me in
my shock. Get it together, Kenzie.
His emerald eyes swung my way, taking me in, and I held my
breath and stood a little straighter. Did he recognize me like I recognized
him? Did I want him to? Damn it . . . what was his name again? And why the hell
did he have to have such incredible eyes? Green with flecks of gold,
penetrating and intense, like when he was looking at you—truly looking at
you—nothing else around him mattered. I could easily picture him studying the
track with that unrelenting gaze. I could also picture him studying my curves
with that superheated stare. Goddammit, no. This couldn’t seriously be
happening.
