He lives life in the fast lane and she's along for the ride - with no breaks... Jamie Swift has one priority in quiet Beaumont, South Carolina: running the local newspaper. Romance runs second.

A former wrestler, Frankie Fontana, is now taking his shots in the political ring. Beaumont could use a mayor with scruples, but what it gets is a crime - and what Jamie gets is a story that's taking her for a ride on the wild side, complete with two assassins, a washed-up stripper and an insane poacher. Between a spray of bullets and a fast getaway, nothing could be more romantic - or dangerous. Max and Jamie are betting their lives on a long shot.
