The Good Race

Tragedy brought them together. Circumstance pulled them apart. After a gulf of silence, will their love stand the test of time?
Jackie Reilly is still struggling with grief. After the devastation of losing her father in a racecar accident, she blindly follows the brother she never knew existed to a prestigious boarding school. There she comes face-to-face with her long-lost sibling’s tattooed nemesis, the most beautiful bad boy she’s ever seen.

Danny McKenzie can’t wait to escape his educational prison where his father dumped him. But when he meets his rival’s shy little sister, his angry frozen heart melts. Yet just as he finds solace and companionship with the lovely girl, his emotionless father finally grants his wish and withdraws him from school without even letting him say goodbye to the one person he has ever loved.

After twelve torturous years of never knowing what happened, Dr. Jackie Reilly scrubs up as a gunshot wound victim appears in her ER. And when NYC cop Danny McKenzie receives treatment for his injury, he looks up to see the same angelic face and tortured eyes he was forced to leave behind. Have their feelings faded, or has fate intervened to give them another chance?
