Start Your Engines, my brother's best friend F1 romance, has been out in the world over a month and it's already my second best selling book.


You can read it for free through Kindle Unlimited or buy the ebook or paperback.




Here's an excerpt from chapter two that tells you all you need to know about Connor Dane, the F1 driver with a bad rep.


“One more thing,” Niki says, pointing at me through the screen. “Although I trust you to protect her without her knowing, I know your reputation with women, Dane the Dick. The pact we made as teenagers when we fought over Antoine’s sister still stands. Even though I had a chance with her, I walked away because of you.” That’s not what happened. Antoine’s sister never wanted Niki, and I was crushing on Senna but couldn’t tell him, like I can’t say anything now. “We don’t go after the same women, and you don’t get with my sister, ever.”

 

I laugh loudly until Niki’s glares force me to stop.

 

“There’s no danger of that. I can’t stand her, but we’re too old for teenage pacts,” I explain.

 

“Not when it comes to Senna. This is the only way I can make you behave. Promise me on your life. I can’t watch my sister get hurt like all your women have in the past. Your reputation is deserved.”

 

I throw my hands in the air and rock back on my chair. “Niki, I’ve always been clear with women that I’m not the settling-down type.”

 

“I don’t care. Give me the promise we made as teenagers. Promise me you’ll protect her and that you won’t try anything with her.”

 

The door opens, and Senna stares at me, her eyebrow cocked. “I heard Connor laughing. Are you two done? I’ve got balls to bust, and I’ll be starting with yours, Connor fucking Dane.”

 

Why does that sound so appealing?

 

“Promise me, Connor.”

 

I look between the woman I have messy feelings for and her big brother. Senna hates me, and I can’t let my thoughts about her own me again. This will be fine.

 

“Sure. Whatever,” I say with a roll of my eyes. “But I’m not going to make this easy for anyone.”

 

I glance at Senna, who says in a way that has me pressing those nails deeper into my hands as my belly coils, “You want trouble, Dane? Bring it on, because I’m all in.”



F1 Romance Blurb:

He's hot, a legendary F1 driver, the man who ended my racing career and my brother’s best friend... and now he's my only hope for survival.


Senna Coulter’s dreams of becoming a race car driver ended after a crash; now, she’s the head of her family’s failing Formula One team.


She’s determined to succeed, even when it means battling the people who think a woman in her twenties can’t be the boss in a male-dominated sport.


Her team’s only chance of survival is her brother’s best friend and her teen crush, Connor Dane. He’s also her team’s new arrogant hotshot driver.


Connor has carried the guilt of causing Senna’s crash for years. Being around Senna is torture especially with the secrets he’s hiding, but he promised her brother he’d protect her at all costs.


They begin the season at each other’s throats, but the undeniable spark between them means they surrender to their wants and cross a dangerous line.


It starts as a secret, steamy relationship, but as their feelings for each other intensify, it becomes harder to hide. So much is at stake: the team, their careers, their friendships, and their reputations.


But maybe it’s all worth it for love.
