A stolen bag. A deadly boyfriend. A chase across NJ. This is one screw-up she's determined to escape
Tempest Stanley lives a life controlled by her drug-dealing boyfriend, in a crummy house squeezed onto a New Jersey jughandle. The lover puts his thumb on the Englishwoman’s visions of American thrust and glamor until he hits her. Furious, she bursts free with his product and cash by jumping into her lovely neighbor’s car one sultry morning.
Her neighbor is sympathetic, but he’s a family man, and does not want to get involved. But Tempest is desperate. Her lover is a sociopath, with blood on his shirt and guns all over the house ready for use at a moment’s notice. This is her chance to escape, to prove her family back home wrong, to live life. And she cannot help but rope the man next door into her escapade.
Tempest must play a game of cat and mouse on the streets and highways of New Jersey as the drug dealer hunts them for the kill and her nice family man shows a darker side than she ever realized.
Keep the Motor Running is a fast-paced chase novel. Violent, funny, noirish, and full of heart. Can Tempest make it back to England with her life intact and the cash to live it?
