Not so fast / by Booth, Karen(Karen B.)author(CARDINAL)611033;
"Mia Neal is a champion overthinker. Find something, fixate on it and spiral down. Fortunately, she puts that energy to good use: in a podcast about Formula One, her favorite sport in the world. There's nothing about racing Mia doesn't adore. The speed. The drivers. The fierce competition. The single-minded ambition. Ironic for a woman who's changed careers more times than she can count. Only now, her salty takes on gorgeous Brit driver Xander Bishop have gone viral, and the podcast feels more and more like what she's meant to do... Then Xander's teammate invites her to the Miami Grand Prix to see F1 up close--and get in Xander's head. He's not exactly delighted at the shade she's been throwing his way. It should be all-out war. Instead, Mia and Xander are stunned by the sudden crackle of... something sexual arcing between them. It's irresistible, unbelievably hot--and Mia's warning flags are waving. Because this reckless attraction is coming at Mia all too fast." --
