By Megan Slayer

Racing hearts and race trucks…things happen fast on track.

Adam Lowry is known in the racing community as the best crew chief. He doesn't pull punches or put up with diva antics from drivers no matter what. But there is one man he never quite got over. Will Camden, his former lover and now the latest addition of the Flash Racing team.

All Will Camden needed was a second chance to prove he's got what it takes to race with the big dogs in the truck series. When he's asked to fill in for another driver at Flash, he's determined to make the best of the situation. Knowing his ex is his crew chief is bonus points.

Can they make the jump from being a solid team on the track to solid in bed or will they crash and burn before the end of the race?

Running Hot

Chapter One

WHAT IN THE HELL DO you mean, he quit? Adam Lowry massaged his forehead with the tips of his fingers. Of all the times for the driver to quit, Gavin would have to hand in his resignation right before a God damned race! He got another ride, didn’t he?

He rubbed the motor oil off the back of his hand and tossed the rag onto the war wagon. He didn’t need this. He was the crew chief, not a miracle worker. Give him a truck to set up, and he’d be fine. Making him work with a diva driver was something totally different. The whole racing community watched what happened in Charlotte. Talk about screwing over people in racing’s backyard. Damn it.

Collin Marshall, the owner of Flash Racing, nodded. His shoulders sagged, and he stuck his hands in his jeans pockets. He leaned one shoulder on the cart post. Apparently, he wanted to drive for Kennedy Taggart. They were in talks, and she offered him a lucrative deal—if he ran like shit for me. Pisses me off to know he pulled a stunt like that. I thought we were like family. Dickhead.

One of the other race trucks roared by, leaving the pungent scent of burnt rubber in its wake. Smoke wafted around Adam and Collin, obscuring Adam’s vision for a moment. He waved his hand and coughed.

Damn it, Fortney locked his brakes again. So what are we going to do about a driver? Adam knew the story well without knowing every the detail. Kennedy Taggart ran the biggest racing empire with the best winning percentage. All the drivers wanted to nab spots with her teams—including Gavin. Tell me you have a good replacement. One that just sort of showed up or something? I know you. You’ve always got an ace up your sleeve.

The last time Adam checked, the drivers haunting pit road in search of a job were about two. One wanted to make his great comeback after his third concussion and another owned the reputation for crashing after twenty or so laps. Not a good batch. At least, they were in Charlotte. If the team hustled, they might be able to nab one of the local drivers. Maybe.

Well, that’s why I came down here, my friend. You’re right. Collin smiled then waved at something behind Adam. I’ve solved our problem. This is Will Camden. Remember him?

Remember him? Adam choked back the snappy retort. A scar was hard to forget. For him, Will was that scar. Saying they shared a messy history was an understatement. Adam grabbed the bill of his hat then tugged the hat tighter down on his head.

Will, dressed in a crisp white polo shirt, ambled up to where Collin stood. A wide grin spread across his face, and his sapphire eyes still featured the bright sparkle Adam remembered so well. He’d be a good match as the next Flash driver, but damn. Why’d the past always have to come back and bite Adam in the ass?

We’ve met. Adam stuck out his hand. Welcome to Flash.

My pleasure. Will squeezed Adam’s hand, and the touch lingered a bit longer than Adam wanted.

Adam’s heart lodged in his throat. Being around Will would be fine on track, but they’d have to spend time together outside of the track. Then things would get sticky—and fast. Damned history between them anyway.

He walked down pit road at the exact same time Gavin quit. I think it’s a sign. Collin folded his arms. "And I think this is a good
