"Oh my god, this Corvette is so fucking sexy." I ran my hand along the peeling red paint. It wasn't in the best condition, but a Corvette was a Corvette. "Can I drive it?"

"There's no engine. We used it for parts," Drake said.

My heart sank into my stomach, and I let out a wheeze. "You what?"

"We were running low on funds, so we did what we had to do," Josiah said. "It never meant anything to us anyway."

What the fuck?

"How the hell can you call yourselves a racing team if you're willing to do that to one of the best-looking cars ever made?" I shook my head. "It's disgusting."

"What? Racing?" Drake's mouth fell open. "Oh my god, no. We wanted a driver."

I looked over at Josiah, then Drake. "I drive cars for a living, therefore I'm a driver. What's the confusion?"

"You said you drove for RTR," Josiah said.

I nodded. "Yeah, Roger Truscott Racing."

"Oh no. Oh my god. Look, in our line of work, that means Real Time Robotics," Drake said.

"Robotics? What the fuck is going on?" I asked.

"You wouldn't happen to know much about combat robotics, would you?" Drake forced a smile, and it wasn't difficult to see the hope leave his eyes.

Katie Moore is a controversial figure in the car racing world with several strikes against her. One, she is a female. Two, she is a female with opinions. And three, she is a female with opinions who thoroughly enjoys sharing them with no inhibition. A one-track mind (with a few side streets), all she wants is to win a race to shut everyone up about her mistakes and misfortunes.

But when she's down on her luck, a team of nerds finds their way into her life, giving her an offer that she probably should refuse.

Please Her ✓

"Look at me" He demanded. I flinched at the tone he used but lifted my head to look at him. I stared at the wall behind him. I couldn't look at him. "Into my eyes" He added in the same tone. I took a deep breath and landed my gaze on him. I saw a ghost of a smile form on his lips. He seemed happy but I could see his eyes watering, making his inky blue eye color appear lighter. "You never look at me" He whispered. I could hear a crack in his voice. "Before you I thought I was nothing-" He smiled bitterly, "-but when you look at me I feel like I'm worth something. Weird right?" My heart was beating loudly as he got closer. This is a spin off for Nate from 'Her Guardian'. It can be read as a stand alone but you canread the previous book if you want to get a better understanding of the story

'Bombs. When the first bomb dropped, it hit in Dallas, Texas, wiping out everyone there. Every person, item, and living creature was fucking gone.' My attention was quickly changed to the squealing noise coming from the entrance of the old, over-grown mall. My hand instinctively tightened its grip on the hammer laying beside my still body. Before I could realize what was happening, I was gathering my things and cramming them into my green, worn-out bag. Soon, I was swiftly moving throughout the mall, and out into the world. Not the world we had known before, but the world that came to be after everything went to shit.*Thirteen hours before the first bomb dropped* 'We are getting news that Korea has declared War on the United States. Kim Wong Un threatened us along with Russia and South Korea.' "What? Are you serious? You've got to be kidding me." 'This just in, the first bomb has been launched. We are advising that everyone get to the nearest bomb shelter immediately. God help you all.' *Twenty years and five months after the first bomb dropped* This is the World After
