No Margin for Us

Three races. Eighteen points. One driver she never stopped wanting.Nina Mercer has eight weeks to save Northline Raceworks from a corporate takeover. Her team needs eighteen points, a safety process their lenders can trust, and a driver capable of bringing their prototype home. The only man qualified for the job is Julian Soria, her former karting partner, her first love, and the person who once chose a factory seat over the future they planned together. Julian's career collapsed when he reported a dangerous brake-control fault and refused to call it driver error. Northline offers him one last place to race, but returning means trusting Nina with the evidence that ruined him-and facing the life he abandoned before either of them knew how to ask the other to stay. Their old connection is still there in every precise radio call, late-night repair, and look held one second too long. So is the problem that broke them: Nina protects people by controlling every variable. Julian protects them by sacrificing himself before anyone can object. When the same fault threatens Nina's car, the secrets they kept in the name of safety put the team, their careers, and their second chance on the line. To reach the final twenty-four-hour race, they must learn that love cannot survive one person choosing the other's future-even for the right reasons. No Margin for Us is a high-heat, second-chance motorsport romance about two people racing for a future they can only build together.
