Downshift by Bonnie R. Paulson
A lonely dirt bike champion and one nurse desperate to deny the daredevil in her heart. When one crashes into the other's world, can they help each other escape their lonely lives?

Or are they destined to run from their hearts for all seasons.

J.T. is one of the top dirt bike champions in the US. With sponsors and races filling his calendar, he should be happy in his success. But until his ten year contract is up, he's tied to the controlling and thieving management of his father.

Kelsey's responsibilities are crashing around her. The only way to get ahead is to get a job that pays more and with impossibly specific benefits. If she can't succeed, her dreams will fade like her grandmother's memories.

An accident thrusts J.T. into Kelsey's care. She accepts his proposal and challenges him for a price. But when their emotions and attractions get in the way of their mutual goals, they need to choose which is more important - their hearts or their dreams?


CATCH A TASTE:

The clutch stuck. JT shifted on his seat to avoid squirreling to the side of the track or into another race. Another ride, probably Blake, clipped his right handlebar.

Come on. JT squeezed, released, and squeezed again, but his Honda refused to respond. He was fast losing his spot in first, hell, his chance to place at all.

The cacophony of roaring engines surrounded him, vibrating from under his jersey to his helmet.  Even muffled, the thrum filled his body. In the short second everything happened, JT remembered to breathe.

Pop the gears down into first, and then… he closed his eyes and released his clutch. The bike jerked forward and JT pulled hard on the throttle. He snapped his fingers tight and jerked his left foot up to fourth as fast as he could. That last side crunch on a jump had messed with his cable, or something, messed with the mechanical aspects of his bike.

A full bike-length behind fifth place when he entered the whoops, bumps on the trail that demand skill to cross over, JT took the corner at full speed. Idiot. Once again, he had to downshift or lose his balance in the curve.

Blake’s blue and gold helmet weaved in and out, popping up when he hit the triples and nailed all three slopes. He disappeared again past the tabletop.

JT’s breathing sped up. He had to catch Blake. If Mac won, fine, but Blake couldn’t beat JT. Not again.

This season had to be different. It had to be.
