Driven

<p>The last thing on Jess DeLand's wish list is a boyfriend. She'd have to be crazy to think any guy would look twice at her.

Foster care is a constant threat and Jess is willing to sacrifice anything to stay out of the system. </p><p>When luck hands her the chance to work on a race car she finds herself rushing full throttle into a world of opportunities-including a boy who doesn't mind the grease under her fingernails. But can a girl who keeps herself locked up tighter than Richard Petty's racing secrets open up enough to risk friendship and her first romance?</p><p>This companion to <em>Running Wide Open </em>and <em>Getting Sideways</em> is a heartwarming story of friendship and trust.
