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?
