All That Glitters

All Ashton Glitterati has ever known is racing, winning, and the unwavering friendships of twins Hale and Helen Troye, and his cousin Braxton. Inseparable from the word Go! nothing had ever shaken them. Nothing until that one split second on the track. Nothing until two cars were vying for the same groove. Nothing until Ashton's car spun into a wall leaving him bruised and broken. Now, months later, all Ashton knows is fear, anxiety, and so much anger that no amount of pills, talking, or physical exertion helps clear the red haze of rage that threatens to consume him. The only calm in his inescapable storm is Helen. She eases the monsters inside him. She soothes the sharp edges that seek to destroy what's left of him. And with the new racing season set to start, Ashton is no closer to being able to drive, and his seat is on the brink of being given away. There's always been a Glitterati in the cars owned by his family... But if Ashton isn't ready to race, what happens to the Glitterati legacy? What happens to his career and what he was beginning to build for himself? In a moment of desperation, Ashton crosses a line with Helen, devising a far-fetched plan to not only get back in a race car, but to inflict some measure of pain onto her brother, the man who took everything that made Ashton great. Time moves fast for a race car driver staring into the unknown, for the bonds of lifelong friendships that have begun to fray, and for a man and woman who understand that every dream can be snatched away in an instant, no matter how hard you hold on. Author's Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger that will be resolved in a future title. It's not a standalone.
