Holeshot — Jackie Barbosa

OwenI can have any girl I want. Except her.I'm good at exactly two things: motocross racing and casual sex. Or I was good at the second one until I met Lucy Salcido. She's a reporter for MotoRacer magazine, and she's been embedded with my team ever since I came out of nowhere to lead the championship series this year. Having her around all the time has definitely put a crimp in my style. It's tough to pick up a new girl after every race when Lucy's there, watching me. Judging me. And it doesn't help that she's the girl I really want: all sexy brown skin, big eyes, soft curves, and the kind of smart that should make a guy like me—who barely graduated high school—quake in his dirt bike boots but just makes me hot and hard.But I don't do relationships. I can't. Not when I'm on the road all the time. Not when I've got no prospects for being anywhere else. A girl like Lucy doesn't want a guy like me. Or does she?LucyHe's everything I don't like in a guy. So why do I want him so hard?When my editor assigned me to Owen Lenart's racing team, I knew I was going to dislike him before I even met him. Not only is he the kind of cocky bastard you'd expect a crazy dirt biker to be, he's also got a rep for loving and leaving them. Still, he's the hottest racer on the motocross circuit right now, in more ways than one. I am not going to deny that he's easy on the eyes and hard on the circulatory system. He does things to me without even touching me. Not that I think he's interested.I don't want to be another one of Owen's conquests. Not a little bit. I want it a lot.AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book contains instalust, instalove, and on-the-page descriptions of very spicy Thai food.
