How does it feel to own a man?
Cruz Ortega's question haunts Gabriela Alende. Her father's will left her nothing but a broken-down race car and a ragtag team of volunteers who want nothing to do with her. To them, she's just the spoiled rich girl who abandoned the man who gave them all a chance.
To Cruz, she's even worse. Carlos Alende was like a father to him-the man who mentored a young immigrant with big dreams and treated him like the son he'd always wanted. The son Gabriela could never be.
But Gabriela refuses to give up. She'll prove she's more than her father ever believed. She'll turn this amateur operation into a real racing team, even if it means working alongside a driver who despises her.
Cruz knows he should walk away. But Gabriela's crazy scheme offers something he can't resist-a shot at the success he's sacrificed everything to achieve. And despite his anger, there's no denying the attraction simmering between them.
As they battle their way through the racing circuit, winning against all odds, the line between enemies and lovers begins to blur. Cruz discovers the woman he thought he knew is nothing like he imagined. And Gabriela learns that the cold, arrogant driver is hiding a heart she never expected to claim.
But with only one year to race before they go their separate ways, falling in love might be the biggest risk of all.
Can two people built for winning learn that love is the only prize worth racing for?
