Camber Knox didn’t plan on coming home. Not after five years in a marriage that slowly tried to sand down every sharp edge she loved about herself. Not after walking away from the dirt track—or the boy who once meant everything. But Windy Ridge is in her blood. The clay. The engines. The fire. And so is Gage Maddox. Gage never stopped racing. Never stopped building. And he sure as hell never stopped carrying the ghost of the girl who used to sit cross-legged in her dad’s shop and challenge him on everything. Seeing her again feels like striking a match in dry grass—dangerous, inevitable, impossible to ignore. Their chemistry hasn’t cooled. Their history hasn’t faded. And neither of them is who they used to be. But Camber’s past didn’t stay behind in Nashville. And when the man she escaped refuses to let go, the tension on the track turns into something far more volatile off of it. Gage has always driven like he had something to prove. Now he has something to protect. As engines roar and old wounds reopen, Camber has to decide if she’s brave enough to fight for the life—and the man—she once walked away from. Because some fires burn out. And some were never meant to.
