Into the Corner — Marisa Carroll

The daughter of a champion driver, Mattie Clayton grew up feeling part of the thrill-a-minute racing world. But she sets herself up for real danger when she launches an investigation into a loved one's suspicious death. Especially when her search pits her against handsome, street-smart homicide cop Lucas Haines.

Lucas works alone. The last thing he wants is a much-too-attractive, hotshot reporter shadowing his every move. But the NYPD detective is an outsider in the close-knit NASCAR community. He needs Mattie, whether he likes it or not.

Now they've teamed up to catch a dangerous criminal, only to find that the love blindsiding them both may bring the greatest peril of all.
