CJ Lomax has proven she didn’t need male anatomy to drive the hell out of a race car. She’s fought all her life to compete at stock car’s highest level and hasn’t gotten this far by being distracted by anything or anyone.

But she wasn’t ready for him—his smile, his charm, his talent or his touch. 

For Grady McBane, the moment she trips into his arms, it feels right.

Then Karma steps in and laughs—redeeming his career means ruining her dreams.

With all that’s at stake, the heat between them is hotter than what’s coming off the track, and he finds himself chasing her instead of just racing her.

How do they cross the finish line without wrecking each other’s hearts?

Strap in…it’s going to be one hell of a ride.

Friends – Welcome!

Whether you’re a speed demon or the fastest you’ve gone is five miles over the speed limit, A FAST WOMAN will make your heart race. 

Personally, my mini-van doesn’t take the corners very well, and the kids keep getting me in trouble with my husband–so, I live vicariously through CJ and Grady.

My sons got me into NASCAR years ago, and I learned about the sport by osmosis, feeding my son’s massive 1/64 car collection (I think he’s close to 300 cars) and visiting Charlotte (twice) and Bristol.

The spark of the idea for CJ came from learning about uncelebrated women in NASCAR (including the legendary Janet Guthrie), studying women successful in “non-traditional” careers, my love of snarky banter, and a little P!nk–the singer, not the color (CJ wouldn’t be caught in dead in pink).

Green flag is about to drop. Strap in–We’re going racing!
