*The Champion’s Runaway Navigator*
Four years ago, Noah Reed abandoned Julian Vale — endurance racing’s golden champion — and vanished, forced by the ruthless Vale family to end their secret romance while bearing his father’s critical illness alone.
Now Julian is back, heading Vale Racing. And Noah walks in again as the team’s top strategist.
Old wounds ignite instantly. Julian burns with anger yet still loves him. Noah tries to run from their past, but memories tied to a violet tattoo, an embroidered leash and rescue dog Toby keep pulling them close.
Family schemes, cruel framing and deadly threats emerge as the truth of their painful split unravels. Through fights, distrust and quiet comfort, they heal each other, take down the villains who tore them apart.
At the finish line, Julian gets down on one knee. They survived the race — and now they’ll race the rest of life side by side.
