LOVE IN THE FAST LANE

Romance Contemporary

Scotty Templeton feels like the world is out to get him, especially Cooper, the ghost who's haunting his car. Cooper is a former race car driver and he's driving Scotty up the wall. The only way to get rid of this ghost is to take his beloved engine to Cooper's mother's house.

When Scotty gets there, he's welcomed by Grammy but un- welcomed by Coop's daughter, Maggie, who's trying to get to Chicago. Coop finds a way to make them both stay at Grammy's, which allows Scotty to get to know Maggie better.

Scotty is still addicted to racing and must choose between his love for it and Maggie. The question is, how far is he willing to go for love?

I loved this story because the characters knew they loved each other, but didn't have to go through a fight and then get back together to realize it. It was funny and the characters were human, faults and all. Scotty's understanding of what Maggie needed was touching, and I really enjoyed their relationship. A sweet story that will leave you smiling.

SUMMARY

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

β€œYou’re afraid of her?” Scott whispered to the ghost. β€œI 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. β€œYou,” 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. β€œNice 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. β€œYou 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 . . .
