About this ebook
Live life at full throttle…
Street racing. Crews. Late-night travels.
Just another day in the life of James Wolford. Racing is his life, and money is his game. And he'll stop at nothing to make sure he gets what he wants.
Including pissing off the baddest of the racers on the block. However, when a race goes wrong and a black SUV cuts him off, James is thrust into the limelight of professional racing and the secrets even the light has to hold.
His eye is on the finish line, but his boss's beautiful daughter is distracting, to say the least. And she harbors a secret of her own that could mean the end of his own professional racing career.
Can James juggle professional and personal? Can he shake the angry racing gang following his tail?
Or will his dreams of having a good life for himself crash into a guard rail before it crosses the finish line?

Chapter 1
James
The engine revving beneath my body. The wind whipping around the car. The concrete of the street roaring underneath the tires. I lived for that moment. The moment when my car nosed just beyond my competitors. Broken street lamps raced by and rundown buildings blurred in my peripheral. I shifted. Lurched. Felt the car groaning underneath me as I pushed it to its limits. That was the thing about racing. Knowing when to throttle it and knowing when to back off. The key wasn’t the car. It was the competitor. When someone got cocky, they backed off. And my job was to stroke their ego. Get them to think they were winning before I throttled it. In my racing experience, I found that it took twice as long to get a car to giddy-up than it did to slow down. Rather than starting off strong in the beginning and relying on my car to do the work, I played a psychological game that sunk my opponents every time.
And X was no different.
The roar of the wind around me was euphoric. I shifted gears, easing off the clutch just enough to feel the car lurch into what I needed. I pressed the gas pedal down. I kept my eyes in front of me. I watched my car approach X’s. I watched the nose of my car surpass his. And when I knew it was safe to look over, I tossed my gaze out the window and watched the panic roll over his features.
He needed to be afraid. He needed to be panicking. Because I’d just beaten him, and it had nothing to do with the cars we were driving.
Racers like X were easy targets. It was the up-and-coming racers that were harder to beat. The newcomers didn’t have the go that men like X had. X thought he was unstoppable. Unbeatable. His reputation spoke for itself, and the intimidation that came along with it kept the newcomers at bay. No one dared to question him because of his experience. Because of the races underneath his belt. Because of his perfect record.
He didn’t win because of his car.
He won because of the psychological game behind his reputation.
I saw the finish line. I heard X’s engine rev. I watched his face ease back into my peripheral and I knew it was time. I eased the clutch down and shifted into the last gear I needed. I felt my foot press the gas pedal down as far as it would go. The woman at the finish line waved her white T-shirt in the air. Her tits bounced around and her
