Lights Out Series: Book 2
Publication Date: May 20, 2025
A marriage of convenience threatens to go off track in this steamy Formula 1 romance from the USA Today bestselling author of Cross the Line.
Stella Baldwin thought her life couldn’t get worse. Being left at the altar was bad enough, and the drunken rant she posted to her social media followers in the aftermath was the cherry on top. But having to show up at her cousin’s bachelorette party in Las Vegas barely two weeks later feels like a cruel joke.
Thomas Maxwell-Brown is just looking for a good time. With his family’s expectations pressing down, his career as a Formula 1 driver threatened by fresh talent, and a new reputation making him the most hated man on the grid, he needs a break to clear his head. And what better way to decompress than with a stag party in Vegas?
Stella isn’t the woman Thomas expects to meet that night. And Thomas isn’t the man Stella expects to wake up next to in the morning—with a ring on her finger. Staying married might be the perfect solution to all their problems, even if it is a little wild. Sometimes, what happens in Vegas doesn’t need to stay there. . . .
A rejected bride-to-be and a race car driver with a tarnished reputation square off in a steamy romantic comedy.
Set in Las Vegas, Ride with Me serves up the second installment in the Lights Out series. Author Simone Soltani takes two characters who think they’ve hit rock bottom, putting them in a deliciously challenging situation.
With sensuous sparks flying, the two navigate the aftermath of a drunken adventure that leads to numerous complications. Each chapter switches perspectives from Thomas to Stella.
The rich character development adds more depth to the story, especially since it sets the stage for the next installment.
Ride with Me serves up a high-octane romance with snappy dialogue for two unsuspecting people.
Simone Soltani is a romance author and former ghost writer for a serialized fiction platform. Born and raised in Washington, DC, she holds a BA in Geography from The George Washington University, which she likes to think comes in handy for world-building in her novels. When she’s not writing, she spends most of her time planning vacations she’ll probably never get to go on, reorganizing her many bookshelves, and watching sports while cuddling with her dogs.
