Raelee Arison has spent her life on the fast track—literally. As a former race car driver and the rebellious daughter of Earth’s president, she’s never backed down from a challenge. But now, she faces a new kind of race—against an arranged marriage to an alien prince in exchange for technology that could change Earth’s future. Determined not to be a pawn in a political game, Raelee does what she does best: she runs.

Vexor Tharvis, crown prince of the advanced planet Tharvis, is used to duty, strategy, and control. When his bride-to-be flees just before their wedding, Vex is intrigued instead of angered. Deciding to secretly follow her, he plans to understand the fierce woman who’s meant to rule by his side. However, the more time he spends with her—under a false identity—the more he realizes that duty and love might not be as separate as he thought.

As Raelee and Vex race across Earth, battling their own growing attraction and enemies who want to sabotage the alliance between their worlds, secrets unravel, and sparks fly. But when Raelee discovers the truth about who Vex really is, will their love survive the deception? Or will the collision of their worlds tear them apart?
