Hotwired Books in Order

Even though the database treats Hotwired like a series, the story most closely tied to it is really Accelerate, a standalone that feels like Tracy Wolff taking a quick turn into street-racing suspense. It is contemporary romance with a thriller engine under the hood, which means the book moves fast and does not spend much time idling.

The setup is simple and effective. Nic Medina used to be part of a car theft ring, but he has spent years trying to build a legitimate life at his L.A. garage. Then a crooked cop forces him back toward the world he escaped. Jordan Bass, a small-town woman with Hollywood dreams, gets pulled into the mess after witnessing the wrong crime. What follows is part chase story, part forced-proximity romance, and part question of whether either of them can outrun the danger closing in.

The appeal here is the balance. The cars, races, and illegal pressure give the book speed, but the relationship still has room to breathe. Nic is not trying to be a hero, Jordan is not trying to be in a thriller, and that mismatch gives the story some humor along with the tension. If you like your romance with engines revving in the background, this is the lane to take.
