Logan Chandler sees his career as a motorcycle racer cut short after a serious accident that leaves him in a wheelchair. But he not only has to say goodbye to his passion but also to the love of his life Kassidy, since he doesn’t want her to sacrifice her future to take care of him.
8 years later he receives a call from Levi, his best friend and also Kassidy’s , asking for help since someone is trying to sabotage them. He offers to help him from the distance but he doesn’t want to go back and see how Kass has moved on with her life. It is not until he receives a call from Kassidy’s father and former boss , to inform him that Levi has been murdered. Logan along with his partner on the FBI Micah decide to go investigate as undercover racers. In addition, Logan wants to take advantage and asks Kassidy for forgiveness, but it will not be easy , although many years have passed the pain of Kass is still very fresh in her heart, but once he explains his reasons, she forgive him. The responsible of Levi’s death is also responsible for the accident of Kassidy’s friend Janie and other issues.
Although everything points at first to the members of the rival team, and even Kass partner in the business and ex boyfriend, when they find out the causes and the person responsible for Levi’s death, nobody can prepare them for the hard blow.
“What’s wrong?” “I’m getting tired of people hovering over me all the time. I don’t have space to fucking breathe.”“Are you serious?”“Hell yeah, I am. It’s a never ending parade of people, traipsing into this goddamn room, staring at me with pity in their eyes. I’ve had all I can take. Why don’t you go back home? You never leave, and I don’t even want you here.” Tears fell down her cheeks, but she stood firm, crossing her arms across her chest. “I don’t believe you. Let me guess, my dad put you up to this?” Her dad was my boss. I was the fastest sportbike racer on his Bennett Pro Racing team, and he was none too happy I was dating his daughter. “I’m saying this because it’s the truth. It’s over, Kassidy.” “I don’t understand. What changed?” I stared at her as if I didn’t give a damn. “I’m damaged, stuck in a damn bed. It was fun while it lasted—while I could fuck you and shit—but I’m bored now. I won’t be racing anymore, so there’s no sense in pretending. I don’t think I can continue to sit here and try to hold conversations with you, it’s excruciating.” “But . . .” she stumbled back, clutching at her stomach, voice breaking, “I was going to go to your college to be with you. I don’t understand. I thought you loved me.” I shook my head. “Sorry, Kass. I can see the truth hurts, but it was the only way I knew to fuck you. And now that I can’t . . .” I held my hands up and let my words hang in the air. I might have been a little harsh, but she was only eighteen, and she’d recover from this . . . I wouldn’t.
“He hurt me, Levi. After his accident, he up and left us all.” He hadn’t just abandoned me; he left his friends behind too. No one had heard a word from him in years, not since I found out he had fully recovered and was back on his feet.
How could Levi be gone? I never got to tell him goodbye or hug him one last time. I didn’t want to remember our last days together with me being pissed at him for keeping secrets. Sean held me tight and gently helped me to the floor. Burying my head against his chest, I cried for what felt like hours.
Levi was one of my best friends and I didn’t want him to think I didn’t care. Levi was her best friend, but he was one of mine as well. I’d mentored him and watched every race he competed in. He was like the younger brother I never had, and I let him down.
“I’m gonna miss him too, Kassidy. Levi was a good friend.” Angrily, I wiped my tears away and scoffed. “How would you know? You left eight years ago, and never looked back.” I glanced over at his legs, only everything was too blurry to see. “Even after you started walking again, none of us ever heard a single word from you.” He shook his head and started to touch my face, but held back. “That’s not true. In fact, Levi and I talked all the time. So did me and your father.” I stared at him as if he’d lost his mind. “That’s not true. Levi would’ve told me.” “I told him not to. That includes your father as well.” I felt so lost; nothing made sense. “I don’t understand.” Resting on his knees, he looked at me and smiled, only it was the saddest expression I’d ever seen on his face. “I kept in touch with them to keep tabs on you. I needed to know you were okay.” “Why?” I growled, tears flowing down my cheeks. “You don’t love me, remember? You only said you did so you could fuck me. I still remember everything about that day, as if it happened yesterday.” He clasped my face in his hands and I tried to jerk away, but he held me in place. “It was a lie, Kassie. I never wanted to leave you. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you.” “Liar,” I cried. “Why would you hurt me like that?” Closing my eyes, my lips trembled as I sat there, helpless. I had no energy to fight him. “Open your eyes, Kassie,” he murmured. Reluctantly, I opened them and looked into his crystal blue gaze. “I didn’t want to hurt you, but I couldn’t let you give up college to play nurse to a cripple. I would have been a shackle, keeping you from living your life. I refused to do that to you.” “So you made my decision for me?” I snapped. Sighing, he lowered his gaze and nodded. “It was for the best. Believe it or not, you weren’t the only one in pain. But I wasn’t about to have you resent me for the rest of your life.” I backed out of his grasp. “I loved you, Logan. Even if you were confined to a wheelchair, I still would’ve loved you.” He shook his head. “You say that now, but you don’t know.” “That’s because you didn’t give me a chance,” I spat, getting to my feet. “I didn’t realize you thought I was that shallow.” He stood and held up his hands. “I knew you weren’t, Kassie. And that’s why I did what I did. I only wanted what was best for your future.” I crossed my arms. “
“I’m not trying to get back with her. She deserved the truth and I wanted her forgiveness. Looks like that’s not going to happen.”
Kassie. I hate you’ve been with other men, but it’s something I have to live with.” She stood and walked away, keeping her back to me. “Only one, Logan. There’s only one man I’ve been with besides you. It wasn’t easy for me to let someone in after you left. I wish you would’ve come to me earlier. I needed you more than you know, especially when my mother died.” I walked up behind her and put my arms around her waist. When she didn’t recoil, I held her tighter. “And I was there, Kassie. Your mother was an amazing woman.” She burst out crying and I held her until she stopped. I didn’t want to let her go. “After I let you go, I knew you hated me. When I assumed you were happy with someone else, I had to face the fact I lost you. I’d never been so angry with myself in all my life. I loved you, and even to this day, I never stopped.” She turned around and laid her head on my chest. “Even when I tried to hate you, I still loved you too. I can’t help but think about all the years we lost.” I tilted her chin up and looked down at her lips. “We can’t get them back, but we can always make up for what we lost.” I pressed my lips to hers and her arms around my neck tightened. She opened her mouth and I pushed my tongue inside, loving the way she tasted.
“I want you to kill Logan. Once he’s out of the way, you can get to Kassidy Bennett. I don’t want her harmed. All you need to do is take her to a designated spot, and when the time comes, kill her father. I’ll handle everything from there.”
