"We always tell each other we're made of stardust, but sometimes I look at you and I think you're made of something more."
Adeline Gold loves speed. As heir to Shaw & Gold Racing, NASCAR is in her blood. The travelling, the parties, the smell of hot asphalt... it's all she's ever known.
Billy Brooks is a rising star on the NASCAR circuit. He's spent his whole life working towards his dream of winning the cup, and with a move to Shaw & Gold for the new season, he's so close he can almost taste it.
In the winter of 1974, when Adeline and Billy's paths finally cross, they find themselves inexorably drawn towards each other. They burn fiercely together; fast, and hot, but their burgeoning relationship is shadowed by the trauma that haunts both their pasts.
When tragedy strikes, and Billy's career is hanging by a thread, will their love crash and burn or will they still make it past the checkered flag?
