"Fast Track" is a romance, with a mystery sub-plot. Aiden and Cordie have known each other for years, and she's had a crush on him all that time. In this scene, Cordie is recovering from some injuries while staying at Aiden's place; in her boredom, she's taken to watching a show about fishing. I could completely relate to poor Cordie and this scene made me laugh.
"I have to get out of here for a little while."
Aiden shook his head at her. It wasn't the thing to do at the moment. She turned to him and grabbed hold of his shirt. "I'm losing it," she said. She let go of him and took a step back.
"Stop smiling. I mean it. I'm really losing it." She raised her hand in front of his face and put her finger and thumb close together until they were almost touching. "I'm this close to writing Larry a fan letter, for God's sake. This close Aiden."
"Who the hell is Larry?" Alec asked.
She whirled around to face him. "Larry the fisherman." Her tone suggested he should already know that.

Blurb from goodreads:
A corrupt congressman, a mother’s secrets, and a sizzling romance ignite passion and suspense in the new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.
Cordelia Kane has always been a daddy’s girl—her father raised her
alone after her mother died in a car crash when Cordelia was just two
years old. So when he has a serious heart attack, Cordelia is
devastated, and the emotion is only intensified by the confusion she
feels when he reveals the shocking truth about her mother.
Cordelia can’t suppress her curiosity about the woman who gave birth to
her, and when she discovers the answers to her questions lie in Sydney,
Australia, she travels there to get them.
Hotel magnate Aiden
Madison is Cordelia’s best friend’s older brother. He’s oblivious to the
fact that she’s had a crush on him for years. When he gets railroaded
into taking her along to Sydney on his company jet, he unknowingly puts
her life at risk. He’s recently angered a powerful congressman by
refusing to purchase overvalued land. Congressman Chambers is not a man
to let such an offense slide, and he has the resources to get even and
to get what he wants.
In Australia sparks are flying between
Cordelia and Aiden, but multiple attempts on Aiden’s life are made while
Cordelia is with him, and he realizes he must put a stop to the madness
before he loses the thing he values most.
