She lives for the finish line. He's fuelled by the chase.

Where there's fuel, there's fire ...

In the tropical town of Booker Bay, Gianna Brooks puts her life on the line street-racing her old Mustang. The races are illegal. The money is big. And nothing compares to the adrenaline she feels in the driver's seat.

Then Ryker Edwards returns. Her brother's best friend, who left town four years ago. The man who set her heart on fire ... then broke it.

Ryker's different now. Darker. He's looking to avenge the greatest loss of his life - and to protect Gianna. Everything he does is for her, even if she doesn't know it yet.

But danger looms in Booker Bay. As Gianna and Ryker hunt down answers in the shadows, will their smouldering attraction reignite - or will everything go up in flames?

From an exciting new talent, Driven is a sexy, fast-paced, slow-burn romance, perfect for fans of Liz Tomforde and Lauren Asher.

Emma J. Warrender writes spicy romance with heart, heat and adrenaline. Her debut novel, Driven, blends her love for morally grey men and slow-burn romance with fast cars and small-town antics. She was awarded a 2025 Varuna Fellowship Residency for this novel. When she's not reading, writing or creating YouTube crochet tutorials, you can find her at a Pilates class, watching the F1 or reminiscing through the million photos of her late Staffy x Ridgeback, Chuckie.
