Scott Templeton lives for the adrenaline rush, but when the ghost of a legendary race car driver suddenly appears in the passenger seat next to him, it sends Scott literally into a tailspin. Now he can't convince the guy to head toward the light and stop haunting him, not until Scott promises to make a special delivery.

Maggie Cooper has a five-year plan that involves making executive VP with a corner office and a salary that will cause a grown man to weep. What it doesn't involve is a high-speed hotshot who claims her dead father sent him. She doesn't care how charming Scott is, or how he seems to devour her with his eyes, or even how her shotgun-toting grandmother is playing matchmaker. Maggie is determined to resist, but Scott is just as determined to convince her that loving him is worth the risk.

Excerpt

“You’re afraid of her?” Scott whispered to the ghost.

“I ain’t afraid of nobody,” Cooper snarled, but his gaze shifted away to the tree line.

Shiny, shoulder-lenth hair bounced with agitation as the delectable Miss Cooper darted between bumpers on impossibly high heels. Her suit flowed with every inch of her body as she charged across the narrow lawn. Worry creased the delicate features of her face. To think Cooper could have sired someone so pretty, so utterly enticing, was beyond comprehension.

“You,” she said with recognition.

Fame had many benefits. The fact that she already knew who he was would make getting to know her a whole lot easier.

“Nice to meet you,” Scott said.

The fire didn’t leave her eyes. She didn’t even hesitate as she topped the last step and advanced on him. “You owe me five hundred dollars.”

A lesser man would have run. Not Scott Templeton. He’d stared death in the face more than once. No way a little slip of a woman like this could back him against the house . . .
