Drive Back to You by CD Rachels
Formula Q Series, Book 3
Formula Q is the fastest motorsport in the world. Only the highest-performing athletes can make it to the grid. They drive fast, work hard, and play hard, but off-camera, anything goes.
The public knows me as Daisuke Matsuro, aka ‘Kid Dynamo,’ the rookie driver from Japan. What no one knows is how close I was to one other driver on the grid growing up.
As teens, Robesy Robespierre was everything to me. He was my best friend, we were closer than brothers, but I pushed him away. Now, we’re neighbors who race against each other in front of the whole world. I want a second chance more than anything, but he hates my guts.
Over time, though, that old familiar spark returns between us. After a series of unthinkable life changes, Robesy and I become closer than ever. Nothing in my world will ever be the same, but I refuse to move on without earning his forgiveness.
I thought my dream was to be a professional Formula Q driver. Now, though, all I want is to drive back to Robesy. He’s my home, this is our race, and everything is on the line.
“Drive Back to You” is a male/male motorsports romance novel. It involves best-friends-turned-enemies-turned-lovers, card games, sexual awakenings, rooftop pool dates, a romance that has been ten years in the making, and yes, lots of racing action worldwide. It is book three of a series, has a HEA, and can be read as a standalone.

“Um, maybe I should go home,” Daisuke says. He fidgets around, and it’s so obvious he didn’t know I would be here tonight.
“What? Why?” Berto asks.
“We’re going to be streaming soon,” Hunter says. The lovebirds are too preoccupied with firing up a video game that they miss the palpable tension in the room.
“And the fans want to see the three of us,” Berto says.
“They certainly don’t want to see my mug.”
“Well it’s a very cute mug, so it’s their loss,” Berto says. He kisses Hunter on the cheek and Daisuke and I flinch, completely in sync. Public displays of affection have never been comfortable for me, and I guess it’s one of the many things Daisuke and I still have in common.
“I mean…I should go…” Daisuke stares at me like I’m going to start throwing fists. Considering my attitude a month ago, that’s a fair reaction.
“No, you should stay,” I say.
“Really?” Daisuke asks.
“We’re both here. We were both invited. We both deserve to stay,” I mutter.
He slowly sits back down while the happy couple continues to set up the video game.
“If that’s…cool.”
“It is,” I reply, resigned. “The folks online want to see all of us. It’s for charity, or whatever.”
I wipe my hands with the orange dishrag I was using then take a seat on the couch. Daisuke immediately scooches over. His body emanates nervousness, and I almost feel bad for him. I’ve had the past month to think about how awful I was during our last conversation. I’m an adult, and I should do better; if not for him, then for our jobs. What happened between us was years ago. Besides, it’s practically Christmas.

Formula Q is the fastest motorsport in the world. Only the highest-performing athletes can make it to the grid. They drive fast, work hard, play hard, but off-camera, anything goes.
The public knows me as Damon ‘The Speed Demon’ Davidoff, eligible bachelor and winner of FQ titles around the world. Fans adore me and my team supports me. They don’t need to know I’m so deeply in the closet I intend to bury myself there.
Then my poor health caught up to me and my world came crashing down. I could bounce back easily if it weren’t for one little complication: my male nurse is attractive as hell.
I can suppress these feelings during the season break—I have to. I’m not going to expose my secret just because when Rocky puts his hands on me I feel a fire coursing through my veins.
As the weeks go by, I somehow let Rocky under my skin and into my heart. He’s smart, sweet, and everything I never knew I needed.
I thought I wanted a clean bill of health and to keep winning my races. Now, for the first time in my life, I want so much more. I want him, and damn if that isn’t the scariest thing I’ve ever felt.
Drive to Thrive is a male/male motorsports romance novel. It involves Christmas karaoke, New Year’s Eve parties, Las Vegas swimming pool dates, and yes, lots of racing action worldwide. It is book 1 of a series but can be read as a standalone
