"Intriguing romantic adventure set on the race car circuit."

Thrice-engaged debutante Celeste Bennett is floored when a handsome face from the racing pages forcefully begs for her help. In an instant, two worlds collide: the world in which she was raised and the world in which she was conceived. For almost a decade and a half, Celeste has known that the man she recognized as her father was not biologically so. Instead, he rescued her mother in her time of need with a proper last name and has never let her forget it. Therefore, when the dashing, yet supposedly cursed, race car driver Beau Lansing appears in her life to convince her to save the life of her father, Celeste is leery but interested. She concocts an undercover scheme to allow her to understand the man who took money rather than her.

Filled with racing jargon, fun characters and an intriguing mystery, KILLER CURVES is a great adventure, not only on the track, but into the life of a hardheaded debutante whose stubborn will is more indicative of genetics than gentility. Though some aspects of the story go more smoothly than might be realistic, the book is artfully crafted and worth enjoying. Therefore, whether a race-car or romance fan, readers should speed to the bookstore and buy KILLER CURVES.

Summary

He's fast. She's furious. They're in for the ride of their lives.

When sexy NASCAR racer Beau Lansing tracks down high society debutante Celeste Bennett, it's a matter of life or death. Stunned at the secret Beau reveals, Celeste is forced to make a life-altering decision. But with her love life on the skids and her family life in a tailspin, escaping incognito into Beau's world is just what she needs—especially if she can get answers about her past.

Beau needs Celeste to save a man's life—he never expected a high-octane attraction that could wreck his well-protected heart. And when Celeste's life is threatened by someone who clearly knows her real identity, Beau has to risk everything—including his own life—to save her. With menacing forces in the driver's seat and time ticking too fast, the two must win the biggest race of all...the race for their lives and their love.
