Not yet published
Expected 7 Jul 26From an exciting new talent, Driven is a fast-paced, slow-burn romance, perfect for fans of Liz Tomforde and Lauren Asher.
Gianna Brooks races to win, even if it means risking everything ...
Love and death are two of the most powerful forces on earth. For Gianna, who puts her life on the line street-racing cars in the tropical town of Booker Bay, they go hand in hand.
When her father dies, Gianna relies heavily on her brother Jace and his best friend Ryker Edwards. In her first year of college, she is trying not to love Ryker, who is trying not to love her back. But some attractions are irresistible ...
Cut to four years later and Jace is gone. And the only person with any information on his death has left Booker Bay. With Ryker's disappearance, Gianna is bereft. The only thing that makes her feel alive is racing her brother's grey Mustang. She's determined to fulfil Jace's dream by saving up enough money to buy the local speedway. The races are illegal, but the money is big. They're worth the risk ... aren't they?
Gianna is on track to achieve her dream - and then Ryker Edwards returns. He may be back in her life, but Gianna is determined not to let him back in her heart. All she needs from him are answers about her brother's death. Except it turns out that irresistible attractions can simmer for years, and when Gianna becomes aware of some dodgy dealings in Booker Bay, it's not just her heart that is on the line.
Packed with adrenaline, desire and speed, Driven is breathless, sexy and impossible to put down. It will make you want to race to the end ... but also hope it will never end!

From the first page, I couldn’t put down Driven! The author draws you right into high-octane world of Booker Bay and into the driver’s seat with Gianna. I was rooting for her — and then rooting for the spicy, dark Ryker. Together they are 🔥🔥🔥 and the push/pull and yearning from both of them had me tearing through the pages! The setting was amazing and so vivid, the characters were complex and compelling, the dual timeline and dual POV was so engaging. The fact that this takes place in the world of racing and fast cars made this so different and fun. On top of that, the mystery and need for answers was compelling, making this a truly un-put-down-able novel. I can’t wait to read more from this author!

Driven had me hooked from the first chapter to the last!! This book is fast paced, irresistibly hot and deliciously addictive! If you love fast cars, hot men in helmets, a driven and strong FMC and a MMC who can’t stay away, add to you TBR!
Emma’s writing style pulled me into each and every word, leaving me on the edge of my seat from the first page. The world she built feels like I could just stop on over to Paradiso and flick through some old vinyls.
And a special mention to a gorgeous furry friend Chuckie, the most goodest boy there ever was.
Hooked, love, obsessed!! 🏎️🏁💕

Driven had me hooked from the start, the characters and the world are filled with personality, bringing both to life in a way I was not anticipating!
I enjoyed every moment with Driven, meeting each of the characters and learning who they are and what they do, and really wanting the main characters to succeed in the end!
It was such a great journey, so excellently written, I recommend this to those who enjoy romance, cars, a bit of spice and a fantastically crafted story!

Such a riveting combination of high fueled action, intriguing character development, romance and super hot spicey scenes! The characters and their relationships are addictive and leave you wanting to know more. The excitement of the raceway and the steamy, intoxicating relationship of the main characters is absolutely delicious and I loved every step of their journey.

Also, Chuckie is the best!
