Teagan Shaw did not expect much from Los Angeles, just a place to escape the relentless pull of her family's name and the chaos that follows it. Teagan wants a quiet life, or at least one that is not haunted by her brothers' ruthless reputations. But one day, as Teagan's car sputters to a halt in the pouring rain, fate led her to a small, glowing shop in the darkened street.
Inside, soaked and cold, Teagan finds a warmth that has nothing to do with the heater. Mia Toretto is the kind of person who radiates kindness, someone whose friendship comes as easily as breathing. By the time the rain stops, Teagan has a new friend and soon, she will have a new family.
The Toretto garage, with its heavy blend of engine oil and adrenaline, feels like home from the start. Dom's quiet authority, Vince's wary glances, and Letty's relentless drive all drew Teagan in. Teagan proves her worth in her first race, crossing the finish line just a second ahead of Letty. From then on, Teagan has been one of them, a part of the family that does not care about her past, only the loyalty she shows.
But her Shaw name is not so easily forgotten.
Now, with her loyalty tested, Teagan's world becomes even more complicated. In the midst of it all, she finds herself drawn to a man who is an enemy to both her worlds: Agent Luke Hobbs. With his mission to bring down the Shaw's and Toretto team alike, Hobbs stands against everything she's sworn to protect and yet, she can't deny the undeniable chemistry that ignites between them.
As her two families collide, Teagan faces a choice that could shatter them both. On one side are the Shaw's, bound by blood and ruthless loyalty, with Deckard and Owen reminding her of where she came from. On the other side stands the Toretto team, who taught her the true meaning of trust and belonging. And in the crossfire is Hobbs, the one person she should resist, but who pulls her in with an intensity she can't ignore.
Choosing a side has never felt so impossible. Loyalties will be tested, alliances will shift, and Teagan knows one thing for sure: no matter which side she chooses, it will come at a cost.
