Friction: Full Velocity Series - Book 1 Page 20

  “Why so serious?” Paisley asked, her open expression full of concern. She brushed a thumb over my bottom lip which, of course, I couldn’t resist sucking into my mouth. Her eyes fell shut, and she exhaled a deep, contented sigh.

  “Before I met you, I was caught between two worlds, and I didn’t fit into either. But you’ve taught me that I can be true to my past while still being proud of what I’ve achieved. I don’t have to be embarrassed by the riches surrounding this sport. I don’t have to conform to the affluent world or the poor world, because you and I have created our own universe. And it’s the place I want to live out the rest of my life. With you, and only you, Pixie Ley. I love you. You’re my everything.”

  Her gorgeous aqua irises glistened, and she blinked a few times in fast succession. She grazed her palm over my stubble, her eyes switching between mine. And then she kissed me. Long, hard, so fucking sweet. When she drew back, we were both breathless.

  “I love you, hotshot.”

  Her open smile sent warmth rushing through my chest. She folded herself into the crook of my arm, the place she belonged.

  I was no longer fighting to make it from the wrong side of the tracks.

  There was only one track.

  The one I raced with her, the love of my life.

  FROM ME TO YOU

  Thank you so much for reading Friction. Whenever a reader picks up one of my books, I’m eternally grateful. Reading a book is an investment of time, a commodity many of us are short of in our busy lives, so for you to devote some of yours to my characters and my stories means so very much.

  Putting out the first book in a brand new series is always a nervous time, but I can honestly say that I love this world. It’s glamorous, dangerous, and very sexy! The perfect backdrop for a series of steamy romance novels.

  I often get asked who my favorite character is—a very tough question—but from a female character perspective, Paisley is up there. I adored being inside her head. There were so many occasions where I found myself laughing out loud at some of her antics. I love how unapologetically free she is. I kind of envy her. Paisley and Jared will definitely be making future appearances.

  GRIDLOCK - BLURB

  Tate Flynn…

  World Champion.

  The poster boy of young drivers.

  And the man to blame for the death of my brother.

  He glamorizes risk and danger,

  while I’m left to pick up the pieces.

  I’m determined to expose the true colors of the sport he adores.

  Sure, I have a fight on my hands, but I’ve got the teeth for it.

  Bad luck, Tate. I’m coming for you.

  Madison Brady…

  A woman with many faces.

  Doctor, protestor, adversary.

  She’s laid a family tragedy firmly at my door, except my conscience is clear.

  She professes to despise me, but I’m not convinced.

  They say there’s a thin line between hate and love.

  And I have an urge to test that theory on my nemesis.

  Heads up, Madison. I’m coming for you.

  Gridlock is the second book in the Full Velocity Series. Each novel can be read as a standalone.

  Acknowledgments

  Sometimes when I’m writing my thanks to my amazing team, it feels a little bit like a broken record. But really, they’re so amazing that all I can do is wax lyrical about how lucky I am to have these terrific people as part of my team.

  To hubs… thank you for putting up with me each and every day. For your patience when I go into myself because I’m talking to my characters instead of you! I couldn’t do this without your unwavering support. You’re my world.

  To my critique partner, Incy. Your belief in me, and in this series, means the absolute world. I adore your forthright manner, knowing that every word is given with love and encouragement.

  To Louise. Mon Capitan. I love and appreciate you so very much. Thank you for everything you do.

  To Del - Foxy. Once again, your work on this book was outstanding. Those little comments that send my thought process in a different direction are invaluable. I hope we work together on many more projects in the future.

  To my alpha reader, Allison. I’m still celebrating that I shocked you! Thank you for making me take a second look at the order of a couple of scenes. I love how Friction turned out. Paisley rocks!

  To Lexi. What can I say other than thank you. I’m so glad we met (thank you Louise!), and that I can count you as one of my very dear friends. Paisley said she’d love to be your bestie. Jared said back off, she doesn’t have time!

  To my ARC readers. You guys are amazing! You’re my final eyes and ears before my baby is released into the world and I appreciate each and every one of you for giving up your time to read—and point out the odd errors that slip through the net!

  And last but most certainly not least, to you, the readers. Thank you for being on this journey with me. It still humbles me to think that my words are being read all over the world.

  If you have any time to spare, I’d be ever so grateful if you’d leave a short review on Amazon or Goodreads. Reviews not only help readers discover new books, but they also help authors reach new readers. You’d be doing a massive favo
r for this wonderful bookish community we’re all a part of.

  About Tracie Delaney

  Tracie Delaney realized she was destined to write when, at aged five, she crafted little notes to her parents, each one finished with "The End."

  Tracie loves to write steamy contemporary romance books that center around hot men, strong women, and then watch with glee as they battle through real life problems. Of course, there's always a perfect Happy Ever After ending (eventually).

  When she isn’t writing or sitting around with her head stuck in a book, she can often be found watching The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones or any tennis match involving Roger Federer. Coffee is a regular savior.

  You can find Tracie on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, or, for the latest news, exclusive excerpts and competitions, why not join her reader group.

  Tracie currently resides in the North West of England with her amazingly supportive husband and her two crazy Westie puppies, Cooper and Murphy.
