Five years ago, professional motorcycle racer Ethan Cole made a decision that destroyed his life. When his best friend, Jake Mercer, causes a devastating crash during a race, Ethan takes the blame. Three words-It was me-cost him his racing license, his sponsors, his reputation, and the future he spent years building. While Jake becomes a celebrated champion, Ethan disappears into a quieter life repairing motorcycles and trying to be the father his daughter can depend on. Racing is behind him-or at least that's what he tells himself. Then an anonymous message changes everything. Someone has proof Ethan didn't cause the crash. The evidence could clear his name and give him back everything he lost, but getting the original files comes with a price: steal ten motorcycles in seven days. To reclaim his past, Ethan reunites with people he trusts and crosses a line he never imagined crossing. What begins as a desperate attempt to uncover the truth becomes a high-speed descent into theft, police chases, betrayal, and a conspiracy far more dangerous than the crash that started it all. As Ethan gets closer to the evidence, he discovers that Jake's silence wasn't the only secret being kept-and the people who buried the truth are willing to do whatever it takes to keep it buried. Now Ethan must decide how far he's willing to go to clear his name, what he's willing to sacrifice to protect the people he loves, and whether getting his old life back is worth losing the man he's become. CHOKE is a fast-paced action thriller about loyalty, betrayal, motorcycles, brotherhood, and redemption-where every choice has a price, and sometimes the only way forward is to stop running.
