I don’t come from a happy place.
My brother, Leon, and I were raised amongst criminals, our lives tainted with blood our father spilled.
I never wanted that life, one filled with darkness and evil, but my brother was a different story.
When I got pregnant, I made a promise that my child would never see that life.
Five years ago, my worst nightmare came true, and Leon stepped in to save my baby.
When it was all over, my baby safe in my arms, I knew what I had to do. I made him leave Houston, promising me to stay away.
He kept his promise until two days ago.
My brother showed up on my doorstep with his best friend, a man I hadn’t been able to get out of my head since meeting him three years ago by chance and uprooted my life.
Now, my daughter and I are in St. Louis, surrounded by Oasis, the street racing empire my brother and his friends built, unable to leave until the threat on Oasis is neutralized.
Unfortunately for me, I’m nowhere near safe, and it has everything to do with my brother’s dangerous best friend.
A man I shouldn’t want, but God help me, I do.

St. Louis was my home–always has been, always will be–and street racing was my life.
Growing up, my life wasn’t perfect. My father was a member of the Crew, a street organization that protected St. Louis from outsiders, threats the law couldn’t get involved in.
When I turned eighteen, I became a member.
Six years ago, the Italian Mafia tried to take what was ours.
Five years ago, Jeremy Jones needed an outlet, so we started a street racing circuit.
Four years ago, Leon Torrance rolled into town, looking to race. Together, the three of us built Oasis, the street racing headquarters of St. Louis.
Three years ago, Leon and I were on a run for the Crew when I saw her: the most beautiful woman I'd ever laid eyes on. Mina Torrance.
Now she’s here, in St. Louis with her daughter, under our protection.
The problem?
Leon doesn’t know his sister is the woman haunting my dreams.
And I can’t stay away from her.”
