However Much or Little
Small town. Big dreams. Slow burn. High stakes.
The first novel in the Katie and Bennett series by Tasha Zima
She doesn’t trust men, especially those with money.
He doesn’t do complicated.
Katie Quinn has spent her life surviving—not dreaming. Bills come first. Work comes first. Love? Not even on the list.
Bennett Rhodes wasn’t supposed to stay in Ashby Lake. But Katie—fierce, stubborn, and completely uninterested in him—makes leaving feel impossible.
When her raw talent on the track turns into a real shot at something bigger, the stakes change overnight. Because now there’s something to lose. And Bennett isn’t just a distraction anymore—he’s the one thing that could break her focus… or her heart.

Meet Katie and Bennett
Katie Quinn
Fierce, guarded, dry-witted, and relentlessly capable, Katie is used to surviving on her own. A former mechanic and track-day standout, she has the talent to change her life—but accepting help may be harder than taking the fastest corner.
Bennett Rhodes
Steady, controlled, observant, and loyal, Bennett is an investor accustomed to strategy and control. Katie is the complication he never planned for—and the person who makes staying in Ashby Lake feel less like a choice and more like a certainty.
Where the Story Begins
At the slightly rundown Ashby Lake Racetrack, Katie’s raw ability behind the wheel becomes impossible to overlook. What begins on a local track opens the door to Team Vortex Nine, bigger dreams, and a relationship neither Katie nor Bennett expected.
