“Okay, I love you,” I said and kissed him with everything I had, hoping to convey the emotions I felt for him with my mouth. It got easier each time to tell him I loved him, and I had the urge to say it all the time. It was as if a dam had been opened and years of holding in those words had ended and now they were almost pouring out of me uncontrollably. When I pulled away to give him space to get ready he grabbed my hand and pulled me back.
“I love you, motorcycle girl,” he said and kissed me again. “I’m going to win this race for you.” There was so much determination in his face that I believed him, so I nodded reassuringly. I knew that he needed me to believe in him and I did.
Almost a half hour later both cars were at the starting line. Fox was in the driver’s seat of his race car, a blue Dodge Viper, with his helmet secure. Hal was at the window talking to him and Fox was nodding his head sharply at whatever Hal was saying to him. Woody and Blake were pouring liquid under the tires and Fox completed his burnout by spinning his back tires, leaving smoke and melted rubber in the asphalt. The race master walked in front of them and lined each car up to the starting line. My heart was pounding wildly, and I couldn’t remember ever being this nervous for anybody or want them to have something so badly. I wanted Fox to win more than I wanted to take my next breath. Jonna, Tayia and I all linked hands as we waited nervously for the race to start.
Fox and Knight’s eyes were trained on the red light in the race master’s hand. As soon as it turned green both cars lurched forward. Knight was a full car length ahead of Fox in no time and I felt my heart fall. Then with a loud roar, Fox was suddenly gaining on Knight. I started to jump up and down along with Jonna and Tayia, we screamed with excitement as Fox shot past the other car so fast that it looked as if Knight was sitting still. When Fox crossed the finish line he was at least three car lengths ahead of his opponent. When he drove back up to us I ran full sprint up to him and threw my body into the open window and pressed kisses all over his face.
“You did it, Foxy! You did it!” I squealed as he laughed and held me tightly.
“Hey!” Jonna whacked my behind, which was still hanging out of the window. “Get out of the way and give his sister a chance to congratulate him.”
Fox helped push me out of the window then I turned and whacked Jonna’s behind right back. She yelped and chased me a few feet before turning around and going back over to her brother.
Knight sneered from the driver’s side of his car. “I want my money and your time is running out.” Then he peeled off.
When Fox was out of the car, I immediately tucked myself at his side. I couldn’t believe that I had fallen so completely in love with a stranger who offered me a ride as I stood in the rain trying to think of a reason to keep putting one foot in front of the other. He also gave me a home, real friends and the start of a new life, things I never thought were possible. I couldn’t resist nuzzling my nose under his jaw and smiling. He lowered his head and placed his lips on mine. He mouthed the words I love you against them and I mouthed them back before he kissed me.
“So what happens now?” Jonna asked and Fox let out a long sigh.
“I have to call out number one,” he said reluctantly.
“Who’s number one?” I asked looking up at Fox.
“Who do you think?” I heard coming from behind me and I turned knowing Mack King’s voice anywhere. He strutted forward wearing a deceptively cool smile and his movements reminded me of a wolf stalking its prey. There was strong determination behind his eyes as his gaze slowly shifted between Drew and me. It was a look that told me that things were far from over.
“I can’t wait to dust your ass, Fox, so make sure your shit is ready.” He jerked a nod over to the Viper. “They don’t call me Carolina King for nothin’.”

Prologue
“I am but a firefly caught in his jar and when he looks at me, I can’t help but glow.”
-Kellie Elmore
I couldn’t see shit and I had no idea how long I’d been walking—no, stumbling down the road, and I didn’t care. Everything was dark ahead, my vision was blurry, and my chest ached.
Fox? Fucking Fox? She was fucking Fox.
Harley Wyatt had been mine for five years. She was wild and drove me crazy, but she was mine. From the moment I’d laid eyes on her, something told me to steer clear, but I’d approached her anyway. She was sitting at the bar at Daggers drinking shots of tequila with her feet propped up on a cardboard box. As soon as I was at her side she glanced over at me and rolled her eyes.
