That is, until he gets into a fight with his teammate and personal rival, Gary Fife. The fight lands Gary in the emergency room with a broken nose and Ollie in a police station. His chance at redemption comes in the form of a rich idiot who wants to compete in a charity endurance race. Ollie’s manager makes it clear: he’s to train the newcomer, shake hands and make up with Gary, and ideally win the charity race for his team, or he’ll be sitting Le Mans out this year, and he’ll lose his best shot at the Crown. Jack Blythe has also been living in the fast lane After working from the age of sixteen in his own software company, at twenty-six, Jack thinks it’s high time he got to have a little fun. When the opportunity to go motor racing for charity comes up, he jumps at it--especially as it gives him the chance to meet Ollie Blackwood, gay icon of the moment. As a closeted gay man who’s never really had time for a relationship, the chance to get to know someone who’s out and successful like Ollie is too good to pass up. The only obstacle in Jack’s way now is learning to drive a manual car. And figuring out how to woo a man whose world couldn’t be more different to his own. With Ollie’s career at stake, Jack unsure about his future if he comes out, and Gary with a score to settle, winning the race--and each other’s hearts--is anything but simple. Can Ollie and Jack sort out what they want out of life before they part ways forever? Or will Gary’s distaste for his teammate lead to disaster?

    He’d long known he was gay – he’d just never shared it with anyone, not even his own free-thinking, liberal parents. Sure, they knew. Yet, they never quite gave up on linking him to some respectable girl with good genes and a generous bank account. Fin’s own account was nothing to be ashamed of, but even with all of the advantages, the only true thing he longed for was companionship. After dragging himself back home to Missouri after graduation, Fin prepared to start his adult life – beginning with taking a new job as a music teacher at a private school. He was set, at least by the traditional standards. On his very first day, he saw him... If there was a God, he made Matt DiFiore personally. Disheveled, straight black hair which appeared to be self-cut. Chiseled cheekbones. Tanned smooth skin. Fin knew he was staring. Matt’s lower half was covered by track pants with side snaps, but Fin knew that beneath those snaps housed the most glorious legs in existence. Those full lips wrapped around an apple, biting down as a small smile formed and he turned to walk… Fin’s… way. Contains M/M sexuality and adult language. This title is intended for mature audiences.
