Looking for new romances to read and enjoy is one of my great pleasures -- other than writing my own stories. Finding a new author to read is even better, because that means hours of enjoyable reading and great new characters to get to know and love.
Today's guest in My Writing Corner is one of those new authors I've just started to read. Leslie Scott says she spends most days attempting to wrangle the
voices in her head and often wishes she could clone herself so that their
stories get told faster. She says she loves words, romance, and characters that feel
like family. She says she spends almost all of her free time with her own family;
including a boisterous eleven-year-old she is homeschooling and an assorted
cast of rescue pets. She tells us she is living her dream with her soul mate
and best friend in the northern part of Alabama.
Her latest book, Hot Lap, was just released this month.
Starting a new life isn't easy when the skeletons
locked in her closet are the notorious town drunk for a father and a haunted
past. But, Hadley Morgan isn't one to shy away from second chances or giving
them either.
When a young, single father wrapped up in an octane fueled package takes particular interest in her, she begins to dream. But well-known drag racer Aiden Casey is also her boss, making her hesitate to grab at her chance at happiness.
Will her secrets shatter their chance at love or will his past come back to destroy both of them?

Want to know more? I do! Let's get an excerpt to get to know these characters better:
“Wow.” The word
tumbled from my lips before my body had time to register how damn good he
looked.
Aiden wore his
dark hair tied at the base of his neck. His sharp cheekbones were model
perfect. The dimple in his cheek when wide, sculpted lips curved in a smile,
sent me into a spiral of va-va-voom.
I stood there,
dumbstruck.
“I thought since
I’d asked you to wear a dress, I should return the favor.” He wore a crisp
white shirt, unbuttoned at the collar with the sleeves rolled up on his
forearms, and clean, faded jeans with a pair of black Vans. So handsome, he
took my breath away.
“I never pegged
you for a skater.” I stepped out of the door, my strappy sandals clicking with
each footfall.
His laugh came as
easy as the fingers that wrapped around my hand. “A guy can’t give away all his
secrets.”
“Really? You can
skateboard?” I’d never seen him do anything other than drive.
“Yeah. Vic, too.”
Pleasant surprise was becoming an old friend where Aiden was concerned. He fell
with ease into the rhythm of conversation. With Aiden, things that should have
been awkward—weren’t.
“We didn’t always
drive. Except for maybe Jordan. Old Man always let him drive around in that old
truck.”
They all referred
to Jordan’s grandfather as “Old Man,” even Aiden’s sisters. Jordan had restored
the old Chevy truck and made it like new again.
“You loved him.”
The affection for Jordan’s grandfather written plainly on Aiden’s face.
“Jordan or his
grandfather?” He lifted a shoulder. “Both, I guess. Jordan is my brother, from
different parents. The Old Man was just…awesome.”
“I think it’s
nice.” If I searched the recesses of my mind, I could almost grasp the familial
bond. Then poof, another light in my life snuffed out far too soon. Each time I
was with Aiden, I trudged up things long since buried.
Yet, being with
him made me happier than I could ever remember.
“Now, close your
eyes.” The rumbling timbre of his voice lulled me into doing just that.
