Metro Girl

Fasten the seat belts. With Metro Girl—a gripping, high-octane misadventure with high stakes, seductive nights, cold-blooded murder, hidden treasure, a woman with a chassis built for speed, and one very good, very sexy NASCAR driver who's along for the ride—number one New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich is taking things fast.

"Wild" After Bill Barnaby vanishes from view, his older sister Alex sets out on a terrifying quest to rescue her brother—and maybe the whole world—in Miami, the place of Bill's last reported sighting. Actually, since they were little, Alex has been saving her brother from harm. Not that Bill is an awful person. Furthermore, he acts without thinking first. Unfortunately, if Alex doesn't discover Wild Bill in time, he's going to be Dead Bill this time.

Pushing the envelope alongside NASCAR driver Sam Hooker, Alex destroys Miami hit men, avoids Palmetto bugs that may eat her alive, and speeds past the bars of South Beach on her way to Key West and Cuba.

Just as Hooker had plans for the boat, Wild Bill's "borrowed" his 65-foot Hatteras and they went off on a lethal race into the sunset. Hooker imagines that he will cling to Alex and maybe cross paths with Bill. Perhaps Hooker can salvage some remaining vacation time. Perhaps Hooker will also strike it fortunate and fall in love with Bill's adorable sister. Hooker is, after all, NASCAR Guy. Moreover, NASCAR Guy excels in accelerating a female's engine.

Alex and Hooker are thrust into international seas during the intense sprint to the finish line, which reveals a conspiracy to steal riches from Cuba and a menacing artifact related to the Cuban missile crisis.Along with some creative swearing and sexual innuendo.
