Looking Up
A fierce driver. A steady-hearted man. A love that refuses to play by the rules.
The second novel in the Katie and Bennett series by Tasha Zima
She is fighting to prove she belongs.
He is the one place she can land.
Katie Quinn never planned on falling for anyone—especially not while trying to put her life back together. With interest building around her track-day video and a mountain of pressure on her shoulders, she is focused on proving she belongs behind the wheel.
There is no room for distraction. No space for soft landings.
Except Bennett Rhodes is exactly that. Steady, grounded, and quietly protective, Bennett steps into Katie’s whirlwind of speed, scrutiny, and second chances. As their connection deepens, both must navigate challenges neither expected.
