Velocity

By Jules Ashford

Velocity. Stay Ahead. Stay Alive. In the gritty heart of Brooklyn, bike courier Wren Hubbard lives for the thrill of weaving through traffic on her beloved Argo. But when a routine delivery leads her to a dying woman and a corrupt cop, Wren finds herself framed for murder with nowhere to run except deeper into the heart of the city she loves.

At her side is Maggie Kline, her cautious girlfriend who defies her religious family to stand with Wren. Together, they race against time through a maze of dark alleys and darker truths. As childhood trauma resurfaces and betrayals cut deep, Wren discovers that survival means more than just staying one pedal stroke ahead of those hunting her-it means confronting the ghosts that have chased her since childhood.

A sprawling tale of love, trauma, and resilience set against the backdrop of urban cycling culture, this debut novel pulses with the raw energy of youth refusing to break in a world determined to crush their spirit.
