Fast Track

Romance Suspense

Cordelia Kane has always been her daddy's little girl. He had raised her after her mother died in a car accident when she was just two. It is only when he has a serious heart attack that the truth comes out and the answers to the questions on her mother lie in Australia. She has no idea that her innocent plan to find out about this woman will send her down a FAST TRACK to danger.

Aiden Madison, wealthy CEO of the Hamilton Hotels, is just doing a good deed having no hint it would soon have him scrambling to protect Cordelia. He thought he was just giving her a flight to Australia on the company jet, never expecting the dangerously volatile drama that awaited her. Nor does he expect the sparks to fly between the two of them ... she was always his sister's friend. Now attempts have been made on her and Aiden realizes just how highly he values her and he will do whatever he must to protect her and his heart.

FAST TRACK is classic Julie Garwood. You will find this book filled with believable dialogue, warm loving characters, chilling danger and downright sexy hunks.

Cordie is shocked to find her mother didn't die as she had always believed and after reading letters her father had hidden, she decides to save herself the pain he suffered. In doing so she plans to put the hopeless crush for Aiden behind her. Despite her resolve he isn't about to let her go and thus leads to the dance that romance readers so love.

The suspense in FAST TRACK is intriguing because it is expected and yet not ... you will have to read FAST TRACK to understand ... suffice to say Cordie was very lucky she had her father as an influence in her life and friends like Sophie and Regan and their husbands and of course Aiden and his brothers. I also appreciated the added touch of the side story of the Madison brothers, the congressman in Oregon and the land they wanted for another resort. It shows a funny and sneaky side to the Madison boys. FAST TRACK will go into my "to read again" shelf and I will be looking for more from Ms. Garwood.

SUMMARY

A corrupt congressman, a mother’s secrets, and a sizzling romance ignite passion and suspense in the new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood. Cordelia Kane has always been a daddy’s girl—her father raised her alone after her mother died in a car crash when Cordelia was just two years old. So when he has a serious heart attack, Cordelia is devastated, and the emotion is only intensified by the confusion she feels when he reveals the shocking truth about her mother. Cordelia can’t suppress her curiosity about the woman who gave birth to her, and when she discovers the answers to her questions lie in Sydney, Australia, she travels there to get them. Hotel magnate Aiden Madison is Cordelia’s best friend’s older brother. He’s oblivious to the fact that she’s had a crush on him for years. When he gets railroaded into taking her along to Sydney on his company jet, he unknowingly puts her life at risk. He’s recently angered a powerful congressman by refusing to purchase overvalued land. Congressman Chambers is not a man to let such an offense slide, and he has the resources to get even and to get what he wants. In Australia sparks are flying between Cordelia and Aiden, but multiple attempts on Aiden’s life are made while Cordelia is with him, and he realizes he must put a stop to the madness before he loses the thing he values most.
