Skid #3
Legends
She must prove the world wrong.
Hot off her latest embarrassment, eighteen-year-old Samantha Sutton hides from the media in a public bathroom as they chase her through the airport. She's a joke now. Her dreams of a Formula One world championship fade as everyone turns their backs on the crazy-talented girl who let it all go to her head.
Samantha knows she did her friends wrong. She wants to turn things around and be the girl racer they once cheered for. But is it too late? Will anyone still care about her?
Manny Wolert had no choice. The girl he fell in love with, changed into the girl he couldn't stand. Now Samantha claims the racing diva is dead and she needs him. But how can he believe her? She hurt him more than she'll ever know.
Eighteen-year-old Hanna will not lose Manny again. With Samantha out of the way now, she wants him all to herself. And this girl will do anything to keep him.
A story about a teen rising above her own ashes.
And the boy who holds the key to her salvation.
Fans of Maggie Stiefvater's THE SCORPIO RACES and Enid Bagnold's NATIONAL VELVET should find LEGENDS exciting and emotionally compelling. Fans of Ally Carter's HEIST SOCIETY series will enjoy the international settings and lifestyles.
This book is the third part of the SKID young adult racing series filled with passion, bite-your-nails-racing action, international locations, a heart-wrenching ending, and above all else...a story about racing for people who don't care about racing.

Legends is a fast-paced, emotional thrill ride about redemption, love, and racing against the odds. Samantha’s comeback story is raw and gripping, with plenty of tension and high stakes. Perfect for fans of Maggie Stiefvater and Ally Carter.
