    Summary

    Wet lashes. Flushed cheeks. The slight tremble in her chin as she fights to keep herself together.

    "You hurt me."

    There's no accusation left in Olivia's voice now.

    And somehow that makes it worse.

    "I know."

    She finally looks at him properly, eyes glassy with tears she can no longer hold back.

    "You were my best friend."

    Her voice cracks on the last word.

    "And then one day you just... left."

    Summary

    "𝓦𝚎 𝖒𝚊𝒌𝕖 𝚎𝒶𝑐𝓱 𝐨𝙩𝚑𝗲𝒓 𝚊𝘭𝔦𝑣𝐞. 𝘿𝔬𝐞𝖘 𝚒𝓽 𝓶𝐚𝐭𝒕𝔢𝓻 𝐢𝒻 𝗶𝑡 𝔥𝓊𝐫𝖙𝓼?"

    In Formula 1, nothing is ever just luck. Ella Stevens knows this better than anyone. As a race engineer for Lando Norris under McLaren, she lives in numbers, timing windows, and split-second decisions that make or break races.

    When a bold call in Melbourne hands McLaren a win, the paddock calls it luck. Max Verstappen doesn't.

    He calls it reckless.

    They've crossed paths more times than either of them can count-sharp words, sharper silences, and a mutual refusal to back down. They both think the other is too cocky. It's the only thing they agree on.

    And somehow, after every race, they end up in the same place, at the same time, arguing over things neither of them is willing to let go of.

    In a sport built on precision, control, and strategy, they are anything but.

    And the more they clash, the harder it becomes to ignore one thing:

    Max definitely looks like Sid the Sloth

    Summary

    Imogen Moore loves her job. Loves Formula One.

    But Formula One is currently dominated by one person: Max Verstappen.

    The problem isn’t that he’s difficult to photograph. It’s that every picture she takes of him comes out wrong. Flat. Lifeless. Missing something she can’t explain.

    Imogen prides herself on adapting under pressure, and with an official Formula 1 media accreditation on the line, Max Verstappen has become the one subject she needs to capture at all costs.

    Unfortunately, the closer she gets to capturing him, the harder it becomes to look away.

    Summary

    What if the best driver of recent years isn't actually *him*? What if the best driver is actually hiding something else? Would he still be the best? Or just a simple fraud?

    ❛❛ Becoming champion was the least of their concerns. Finishing as runner-up, however, was a completely different story. Neither of them would ever allow themselves to be second place, and that was the real issue. Winning didn't matter-it was about not losing to the other. ❜❜

    Until…it wasn’t. Now, 27, single, and living in the guest bedroom of her brother and his family’s home, Violet’s timing is completely off, especially when it comes to her brother’s best friend, Xaden Riorson.
