About this ebook

With prose “hot enough to scorch fingers,”* Eric Jerome Dickey has electrified readers with his New York Times bestsellers. In Chasing Destiny, he edges into dangerously sexy territory....

Billie is as notorious for her beauty as she is for the hot yellow Ducati motorcycle she rides down L.A.'s meanest streets. Tough and talented, she does things her way. Until an unplanned pregnancy spins her life out of control. Her problem: Her lover Keith's divorce decree has been revoked, forcing him to choose between Billie and his dangerously manipulative wife, Carmen, along with their troubled and deceptive daughter, Destiny, a fifteen-year-old dancing on the edge of womanhood. Horrific things happen when Keith's daughter disappears in the company of low friends in dark places. And in chasing Destiny, Billie, Keith, and Carmen find their lives inextricably linked by a dangerous and seductive pursuit-at any speed—at any cost.

Ratings and reviews

Everyone had their own individual crisis going on, and it just got to the point where everyone's drama came out at once. The ending was totally opposite of what I thought. But it was still a great book.

A roller coaster of emotion and excitement! OMG! This would make a great movie! This book keeps wanting more and more. I promise you won't be able to put it down!

I never wanted the story to end, like I wanted certain characters to date one another and everyone to find out that Destiny wasn't as innocent as they thought. He should do a sequel for Chasing Destiny.
