The Perfect Lap
by Sedona Hutton
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Contemporary Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
His
job is to drive fast. Hers is to put the brakes on him. When sparks fly, will
love cross the finish line?
AJ Ryan is a publicity
nightmare. After a questionable photo surfaces and his biggest sponsor
threatens to pull out, the NASCAR champion admits it might be time to hit the
brakes. Thankfully, his new no-nonsense image consultant knows just where to
start… too bad she revs his engine so loudly he can barely think straight.
Ella Fisher’s career is
a welcome distraction from her poor taste in men. Fresh off another easily
avoidable heartbreak, rehabbing AJ’s career is just the diversion she needs.
But when the pulse-pounding client actually listens to her advice, Ella wonders
if there’s more to the man behind the hot mess.
When Ella is granted
guardianship of three boisterous children under the misconception that she and
AJ are a couple, AJ surprises her by going along with the charade. Before long
they find themselves in a make-shift family that feels more real than pretend.
As their professional
relationship takes a hard turn for the personal, a single overheard
conversation could make it all go up in flames. Will Ella and AJ’s romance hit
the wall, or will love take the checkered flag?
The Perfect Lap is the
second standalone novel in the Racing Hearts of Serenity romance series. If you
like bad boys with a heart of gold, strong women, and love stories with a new
age twist, then you’ll adore Sedona Hutton’s fun, sexy tale.

EXCERPT
“You’re too hard on yourself, darlin’,” he said. “You’re the
most focused, persistent woman I’ve ever met.” He lifted her chin and gazed
into her eyes. His eyes were a deep, soulful blue and as he intimately held her
gaze, it reminded her of their first meeting and their instant, almost
spiritual connection. “You’re kind, compassionate, caring.” His voice was so
low that it was more like a whisper fluttering against her cheek. “The kids
need that.”
She’d barely processed his sweet words when he leaned in.
He was going to kiss her! Holding her breath, she told
herself to step back. It wasn’t appropriate—they were working together, he
wasn’t her type, she was on a man-ban. The reasons to stop him were endless.
But as he continued to move toward her, she couldn’t. He
grazed his lips overs hers in a tortoise-like motion as if testing the waters.
His lips were warm and moist and her body pulsed and sparked as they generated
heat hotter than hell and half of Georgia.
He drew back and held her gaze, presumably giving her one
last chance to move away.
But she couldn’t. His consoling words had comforted her, his
embraced had warmed her, and his kiss had left her wanting so much more.
As she acquiesced, the world around them transformed into a
magical wonderland. The moon’s light softened and the stars appeared so close
that she could reach out and touch them. Light glittered across the dark water
like pixie dust and her belly fluttered as if it had been brushed by fairy
wings.
