Little did they know, this monster was going to be the catalyst to start their fire, their fire of passion.

Bella has been blessed with the finer things in life. She has always been focused on what she has and never understanding that money doesn't buy you everything. It will take one stupid bet and a homeless man to teach her what really is important in life. Can Edward get through to snobby Bella Swan and show her what she has been missing? AH HEA Mature.

 I'd like to thank Moonlit Wishes for making me an awesome banner for this story.

Raised by her single father, Isabella Swan grew up in the land of men.  Their favorite pastime when she was younger was to spend the night at the local dirt track, feeling the energy of the cars as they fought for position.  Was it any wonder that eventually she would end up on the track herself?  

Having paid her dues, Isabella (Izzy) Swan has made it to the big leagues, officially racing for a franchise in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.  Can she hold her ground against a track full of men who want to see her fail, especially her teammate Cocky Edward Cullen?

Bella and the gang are the popular rich kids of Forks high, new teacher Mr. Cullen starts, B wants him right away. What starts out as a passionate affair ends up as a cataylyst for the obsession of a dangerous drug lord to take action. Lemons.
