His job is to drive fast. Hers is to put the brakes on him. When sparks fly, will love cross the finish line? AJ Ryan is a publicity nightmare. After a questionable photo surfaces and his biggest sponsor threatens to pull out, the NASCAR champion admits it might be time to hit the brakes. Thankfully, his new no-nonsense image consultant knows just where to start… too bad she revs his engine so loudly he can barely think straight. Ella Fisher’s career is a welcome distraction from her poor taste in men. Fresh off another easily avoidable heartbreak, rehabbing AJ’s career is just the diversion she needs. But when the pulse-pounding client actually listens to her advice, Ella wonders if there’s more to the man behind the hot mess. Ella is granted guardianship of three boisterous children under the misconception that she and AJ are a couple, and AJ surprises her by going along with the charade. Before long they find themselves in a make-shift family that feels more real than pretend. When a misunderstanding makes it all go up in flames, will Ella and AJ’s romance hit the wall, or will love take the checkered flag? The Perfect Lap is the second standalone novel in the Racing Hearts of Serenity romantic fiction series.
