A Race for Redemption

 

A powerful conglomerate, Powell Industries has entered the world of stock car racing. It isn’t too risky an endeavor since the CEOs daughter’s favorite things are driving fast and fast cars. As beautiful as she is driven, Tracey Powell is one of the most talented drivers on the circuit. However, a string of wrecks has caused her father to make a change. Now her former trainer is driving the Powell industries car. Determined to reclaim her place behind the wheel, Tracey battles her way back. Now Tracey’s not only looking to be the first African American woman to bring home the trophy—she’s also looking for Redemption.

 Shane Westbrook has been the reigning champion five years running. His life is grand as a result. He has everything: money, respect, and all the women he could want. The trouble is that he doesn’t want just any woman. He wants the one woman who walked away—Tracey. With the last two races coming up he knows Tracey is thinking about winning. The race is on—the prize has yet to be determined.


**Excerpt**

 

“What happened on the track today? Are you okay?” He asked, as he walked over to her and took the towel from around her head. He tilted her jaw first to one side, then the other, looking into her eyes as if he were a doctor or something. “Why aren’t you answering me?”

“Probably, because you haven’t given me a chance to answer yet,” she said, finding her voice at last. “What are you doing here? And why are you angry with me?”

“Never mind that. Are you hurt?”

“No.” She wouldn’t tell him that she’d been scared out of her mind. She’d keep that bit of information to herself.

“Good. Come here.” Her supposed rival, Shane Westbrook, pulled her into the circle of his arms and brought his mouth down to hers. Her lips parted voluntarily, allowing his tongue access.

Tracey’s arms instantly encircled his neck, causing her towel to drop to the floor. She felt his groan of appreciation as he deepened the kiss, grasping her hips, lifting her up off the floor and more intimately into him. Without missing a beat, he walked with her over to the bed and placed her on it—with him on top of her—their lips still locked in a passionate kiss. His legs parted her naked thighs—his cock coming into contact with her center—her juices wetting the front of his jeans.

Tracey couldn’t believe this was happening. That it was real. Yet the thickness between her legs assured her that it was. Her hips gyrated against him. He growled his satisfaction into her mouth.

“I am definitely overdressed,” he whispered against her lips, before lifting up off of her. He removed his clothes swiftly, and joined her back on the bed before she could voice her objections.

She looked at him as he undressed, enjoying the view of his toned body, sun-streaked, short, brownish blond hair, and blue eyes. His long, thick erection, bobbed up and down amidst a triangle of short curls a shade darker than his hair. As much as she wanted all of him inside of her, in her heart of hearts, she knew it would be wrong.

“From the look in those beautiful dark eyes of yours, I can tell you are having second thoughts. Don’t,” he ordered. “This is going to happen, Tracey.”

“We can’t,” she murmured.

“We can and we will,” he said sternly, before taking her lips again in a mind-blowing kiss.

Dee Dee M. Scott is on my blog today!!! Welcome!!!


I am very excited to introduce to you and welcome the lovely Dee Dee M. Scott to the world of Serenity *grin*. Yay us!!! Ms. Scott does it all. I’ll let her fill you in on everything in her world.

Dee Dee, why don’t you tell us a little bit about yourself?

First, I would like to thank you for having me on your site. My name is Dee Dee M. Scott. I wear many hats. I am a playwright, film Producer, Publisher, author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and business woman. I am also a mother, wife of seventeen years and a down to earth person.

 Do you work with a publisher, or are you self-published? If you work with a publisher, can you share with us your experience with either getting the call or working with a publisher?

I am a publisher. I published my books through my publishing company, Ahsyad Publications.

Do you work with a publisher? Why, or why not? If so, why did you choose that particular publisher?

I am a publisher. Due to the out of the box plot of, My Husband’s Woman, I had a hard time finding a home for my novel. However, people who were reading the story were telling me that they could not put it down. It was at that time, that I realized that what I had written was different, relevant and needed to be heard. So, in 2008, I formed my own company, Ahsyad Publications, and published my book. The book was well received.  Now, I have eight gifted authors signed to my label. Each author has a unique writing style. Their stories are innovative and fresh. The first author will be released soon. Their books are well-written and will not disappoint!

Give us some background on your book
My Husband’s Woman is a story about a young, naïve woman named Meshia. She becomes involved with Byron, a married attorney eighteen years her senior. The affair causes his wife Alexandra to slowly break down, and both Meshia and Byron find themselves in a position that they never saw coming.

How do you balance life and writing?

I wrote ten of books, year ago, during a dry spell, when it seemed like I couldn’t get my foot into the door. I could have thrown in the towel, but I realized that it is during your dry spells that you must continue working hard, and doing whatever it is that you do, so that when the time does come, you will be ready. Now, I have time to focus on others things like my publishing company, stage plays and films. I will release my other books throughout 2013-15.

Where do your ideas come from?

Ideas just come to me. I think they come so freely because I do not put myself in box or allow anyone else to.

Do you have any advice for writers?

Have alligator skin and lose the naysayers. If you have a talent, if you have a dream, surround yourself with like-minded people who will uplift and support you. Negative people are Cancer. They will destroy you and steer you away from your dreams, if you let them. Learn all you can about the business and the industry and never give up.

What writing tips can you offer to new and/or aspiring writers?  

Write from your heart. Find your own unique style, and don’t be afraid to use it. 

How are your characters created?    

I spend a lot of time making sure my characters have flaws and distinct personalities.  I make sure that the situations, and the things that they feel are realistic and can be felt when reading my novel.

Do you have any researching tips?  

Yes. The internet is a good place to do research. It has tons of information you can use, but don’t rely entirely on it for your information. You can obtain a lot of excellent information from the library, newspapers and many other places.

Name a must have in a story (any genre)

A good story.

Share with us something most people don't know about you?

I am a very private person. I love being alone or with my close family.

What do you like to do in you down time?

Other than spend time with my family, I love yoga and meditating on the word of Jehovah and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Heroine: Halle Berry, Gabrielle Union, Sanaa Lathan, Taraji Henson, and so many more. There are just too many men and women actors/actresses that I would love to see play one of my characters in a movie.

What is a one sentence synopsis of your book? A ‘What’?! With a lot of I want one too.

Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency/publisher? No. This will be published through Beautiful Trouble Publishing.

How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript? Do you mean the first time? (smile). I have written too many drafts of this book. The first draft took about four months.

What other books would you compare this story to within your genre? Not sure about that one.

Who or What inspired you to write this book? The beauty of love and romance inspired me to write this novel. 

What else about your book might interest the reader? It’s full of juicy characters that will make you fall in love with each and every one—flaws and all.
