Publisher's Synopsis
Murder has them on track for a head-on crash. Can love set them straight?
She's the heiress to a racing fortune, but the police suspect she killed to get it. He's the jaded ex-cop hired to keep her safe, or put her behind bars. Then passion sends them into a spin, with danger close behind ... a race they'll only win if they trust each other.
Julia Cameron just inherited a billion-dollar auto-racing empire, but she'd rather have her adoptive parents back. And now she's under police investigation for their deaths. Once a street kid fighting to survive, Julia retained a deep distrust of the law. As for the hunky, former cop who's her new bodyguard-he's a distraction she can't afford in her race to find the killer.
Roane Jameson survived years on the police force and a nasty divorce, so when it comes to women, he's burnt out. He's convinced Julia's trying to get away with murder. But the poor little rich girl turns out to be a smart, savvy woman who'll do whatever it takes to protect those she loves, even allow a former cop into her life. And running this close tempts him to find out just what's under her gorgeous exterior.
But Roane must keep his hands on the wheel-because if Julia's innocent, the murderer is still on the loose ... and he'll try to knock her off the track next. Locked in a deadly race, Roane and Julia must work as a team to find the killer. But driving blind and racing the clock, can they reach the winner's circle?
