What happens off the track must stay between them...

Lily is known for her cheerful and sunny personality, and after a successful stint at Valkyrie F1 Racing, she has decided that she is ready for a new challenge: being the first female racer on a traditional Formula 1 team, even if it is run by all men.

Henri, a grumpy and driven race car driver, cares only about winning and lacks humility, making him unpopular among his team. As the season goes on, Henri is angry that he's never won a world championship, and this only worsens as he sits in his sister's racing shadow to the public.

When an unexpected crash on the course leaves Henri carrying Lily in his arms, something clicks. Despite their differences, passion flows between them. But as Lily battles PTSD and hidden death threats from an unknown sender, Henri suspects there is far more to Lily than meets the eye.

Can they keep each other's secrets in the cutthroat F1 world? And most of all: who will make it to The Finish Line first?

A steamy, grumpy X sunshine sporting romance, for fans of Hannah Grace and Leah Brunner.
