Gianna Brooks races to win, even if it means risking everything...
Love and death are two of the most powerful forces on earth. For Gianna, who puts her life on the line street-racing cars in the tropical town of Booker Bay, they go hand in hand.
When her father dies, Gianna relies heavily on her brother Jace and his best friend Ryker Edwards. In her first year of college, she is trying not to love Ryker, who is trying not to love her back. But some attractions are irresistible...
Cut to four years later and Jace is gone. And the only person with any information on his death has left Booker Bay. With Ryker's disappearance, Gianna is bereft. The only thing that makes her feel alive is racing her brother's grey Mustang. She's determined to fulfil Jace's dream by saving up enough money to buy the local speedway. The races are illegal, but the money is big. They're worth the risk... aren't they?
Gianna is on track to achieve her dream - and then Ryker Edwards returns. He may be back in her life, but Gianna is determined not to let him back in her heart. All she needs from him are answers about her brother's death. Except it turns out that irresistible attractions can simmer for years, and when Gianna becomes aware of some dodgy dealings in Booker Bay, it's not just her heart that is on the line.
Packed with adrenaline, desire and speed, Driven is breathless, sexy and impossible to put down. It will make you want to race to the end... but also hope it will never end!

She was awarded a 2025 Varuna Fellowship Residency for this novel.
