Gear Up: A High-Octane Small-Town Love Story
She was just trying to chase her dream behind the lens.
He was the dirt track star with fire in his blood.
Neither expected the other to become the thing worth fighting for.
Ripley James knows racing — the sound, the speed, the heartbreak. After losing her father on the track, she turned to photography, capturing every gritty, glorious moment through her lens. What she didn’t expect was Creed Carter.
He’s fast. Reckless. Untouchable.
And the only one who sees her fire — and fuels it.
Thrown together by fate and held tight by the chaos of the racing world, Ripley and Creed collide in a whirlwind of adrenaline, tension, and the kind of slow-burn heat that leaves scars. But when rivals, ghosts, and secrets from the past rise from the dust, love might be the one thing neither of them is ready to race toward.
Fast cars. Fierce love. No brakes.
