After walking away from his racing career, Elliot Blue thought finding peace in a small town would be his greatest challenge. He never expected that being pulled over by Sheriff Jake Thompson would change everything. Now, fighting for custody of his eight-year-old son and falling for a man who sees past his perfect facade, Elliot must decide what matters most: the life he built, or the life he never knew he wanted.
Jake Thompson has spent years atoning for his past mistakes, earning back his town's trust one day at a time. But when a famous racing champion speeds into Oakwood Grove, Jake finds himself breaking all his carefully constructed rules. As they navigate custody battles, buried secrets, and a deputy with dangerous connections, Jake and Elliot discover that sometimes the longest race isn't about speed-it's about finding your way home.
In a town where everyone knows your past but believes in your future, two men learn that love isn't about perfect timing-it's about having the courage to hit the brakes and take a chance on something real.
