Endurance by Dakota Willink

Sloan:
As the son of a Formula One racer, the need for speed was in my blood. But in the blink of an eye, my life in the fast lane came to a screeching halt.
With my racing career gone, I had no choice but to endure a new way of life.
And that’s when I met her—Kalliope Benton Riley.
She wasn’t my usual type at all. She was a total hippie, packaged to perfection with flowy dresses and rainbow-colored hair wraps. She had outlandish ideas about the stars, the moon, and predetermined destiny.
Ridiculous.
Yet, I couldn’t turn away from her mesmerizing green eyes. She was more than a pit stop. She was my addiction—my checkered flag. Before long, I had to prepare for an entirely new kind of race—the race for Kallie’s heart.

Kallie:
Six years ago, a psychic gypsy gave me a warning. She said I was cursed when it came to romance and destined for a life of disappointment and heartache.
She was right.
So when the opportunity to move across the country presented itself, I was more than ready for a change—but that change was not supposed to include someone like Sloan Atwood.
He was arrogant and cocky. Avoiding him should have been easy, but every time I looked at him, the attraction grew stronger.
I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe—just maybe—Sloan could be the one to break the curse.
Then I saw a California sunset. The gypsy had warned me about those too.
As the sun dropped lower in the sky, my heart knew I couldn’t box this lap. There would be no winners in this race. Total shut down was the only way to prevent permanent damage.
