Octane

The racetrack has been my home since I was fifteen.

It’s where I found myself ... my passion.

It’s where I go to breathe and escape the chokehold I can’t free myself from.

I laugh when people tell me how dangerous racing is. If they only knew my relationship was the bigger threat. My life becomes more unstable the longer I stay. But I’m caught between happy memories of the sweet boy I fell in love with a lifetime ago and the controlling and callous brute he is today.

He’s taken a lot from me over the years, and I’m not sure I have much left to give.

Racing is the one thing that keeps me going.

That, and the undeniable passion I have for Jackson Powell—the owner of my new team.

He understands me, even with what little he knows about me. He encourages me to fight for what I want most in this world—no matter the cost. But my dream, as well as my last shred of freedom, is being threatened at every turn.

The more I resist the life I’m bound to, the closer I get to my breaking point.

And if I shatter, I’m uncertain I’ll be strong enough to put myself back together again.
