The tables have turned. Now I have the power—and it’s his turn to beg…
Everyone wants to be me.
Maybe it’s the sway of my skirt or the way I flip my hair, but I don’t care. Even though their attention is the last thing I crave, I just can’t stop. I dominate the track, the speed rattles my bones, and the wind and the crowd screams my name.
I’m her. The girl driver. The queen of the race. And I’m surviving—something he thought I’d never do.
They all talk about him. Did you see Jared Trent on T.V? What did you think of his last race, Tate? When is he coming back to town, Tate?
But I refuse to care too much. Because when Jared does come home, I won’t be here.
Tatum Brandt is gone. I’m someone new.
I adore a good enemies-to-lovers story, and I totally fell in love with Jared and Tate in Bully. They put each other through Hell, but came out of it totally in love. So I was a bit worried about them in Aflame. Haven’t they been through enough? Apparently not. Just like Bully and the other books in the Fall Away Series, Aflame is emotional, heart-wrenching and incredibly passionate. Jared and Tate have that magnet pull to each other that can’t be ignored, no matter how hard they try to ignore it. I had such high expectations for this book. It blew me away. Every word. LOVED IT!

"Challenge accepted, Tatum. This time I don't want you hurt," he continued, his breath falling over me as he got in my face, "and I don't want you small. I just want you. Do you hear me?" He jerked me into his body. "It will be my ring on your finger and my kids in your belly someday."
"I'm sorry, baby," she said breathlessly, smiling, "but love you or hate you, this is how I fuck you."
