The up-and-coming chef hopes her newfound celebrity as author of a NASCAR-themed cookbook will give her the financial security she craves. Falling for handsome, much-too-charming playboy Garrett Clark is just a recipe for disaster.
The only home Garrett knows is behind the wheel of a race car, and now he's on track to win a coveted championship. Falling for a hardworking mother of three isn't part of his freewheeling bachelor plans, but how's he supposed to resist the tempting package Grace is offering—a home, a family, the whole nine yards? That's before a shocking revelation stuns the NASCAR world and promises to transform Garrett's and Grace's lives forever….

About the author
Jean Brashear
147 books239 followersA letter to Rod Stewart resulting in a Cinderella birthday for her daughter sowed the seeds of New York Times and USAToday bestselling author Jean Brashear's writing career. A lifelong avid reader, at the age of forty-five with no experience and no training, she decided to see if she could write a book. It was a wild leap that turned her whole life upside down, but she would tell you that though she's never been more terrified, she's never felt more exhilarated or more alive. She's an ardent proponent of not putting off your dreams until that elusive 'someday'—take that leap now.
Over fifty published novels later, the five-time RITA finalist and RTBookReviews Career Achievement Award winner has accumulated a whole passel of war stories to swap and loves nothing better than talking writing and books with readers and fellow writers.
And she'd still take that leap, war wounds and all.

Terrible book, thoroughly enjoyed

OMG what a yummy bit of deliciousness this book was. Started at 8:00 in the evening and stayed up all night to finish. DEE-LICIOUS!!
There's a nice plot twist, a good bit of angst on both their parts, outstanding secondary characters and a sweet romance. Just what I wanted and expected from this book.
And one of my favorite lines in a book this year...said by Grace's 4 year old daughter Bella when she meets Garret, "he's pretty" which completely mortifies Garrett.

Crossing The Line by Jean Brashear
Harlequin NASCAR Library
NASCAR: Hidden Legacies Book 16
Grace Hunt Winters has been through a dark time but has come through it. A widow with three small children to raise and yet she started her own business. Catering for the NASCAR elite and even her own TV show. What she doesn’t need is the attention that a playboy driver is giving her. And yet something inside her wants to let loose if even for a little while.
Garrett Clark is thankful for his step-dad and is doing his best to win the championship to save their business. To win for the the man who believes in him and loves him more than his own mother ever did. He never planned on his own family but something about Grace and her three children pulls on something inside of him. Makes him a better man.
The finale to this sixteen book series was excellent. Full of emotions and characters who came to life and pulls the reader into the story. When the last part of the mystery is solved and they find Gina Grosso, who was kidnapped thirty years earlier, the author does an excellent job of expressing how this young woman feels. She has a family she has known and loved for all this time and a new family who are strangers to her.
All of the books in the Harlequin NASCAR Library are worth reading and have many of the same characters in them. There are more books that follow and continue with characters the reader has already been introduced to in the previous books.
