Acceleration is a high-octane novel featuring illegal street racing, mafias, and decisions that accelerate and spin out of control. Amanda, the ex-cheerleader, is trying to escape an image of herself. Ben, whose broken heart led him to give up and become a drug dealer. Natalie, the savvy mechanic who quietly buries her pain. Jordie, whose debts leave him entangled with the mafia. Brooke, Jordie's girlfriend, whose clutch is a little too sticky. Then there's Axel, the self-loathing FBI agent who wants to be anywhere but here. Jared and Edge are two mafia brothers on the verge of a bloody war, both using street racers to do their bidding. Axel is desperately trying to take the brothers down—finally redeeming himself for his failures. Fast cars. Mafia ties. What could go wrong?
