OCTANE
 

the racetrack has been my home since i was fifteen. 

it’s where i found myself ... my passion. 

it’s where i go to breathe and escape the chokehold 

i can’t free myself from.

i laugh when people tell me how dangerous racing is. if they only knew my relationship was the bigger threat. my life becomes more unstable the longer i stay. but i’m caught between happy memories of the sweet boy i fell in love with a lifetime ago and the controlling and callous brute he is today. 

he’s taken a lot from me over the years, 

and i’m not sure i have much left to give. 

racing is the one thing that keeps me going.

that, and the undeniable passion i have for 

jackson powell—the owner of my new team.

he understands me, even with what little he knows about me. he encourages me to fight for what i want most in this world—no matter the cost. but my dream, as well as my last shred of freedom, is being threatened at every turn. 

the more i resist the life i’m bound to, 

the closer i get to my breaking point. 

and if i shatter, i’m uncertain i’ll be strong enough to put myself back together again.
