Description
The stakes have never been higher in this spicy F1 forced proximity romcom for fans of Heated Rivalry!
ποΈποΈποΈ
Race car driver Johannes Muller is on a hot streak this season and seems destined to claim the championship win β¦ until his performance unexpectedly falters. Gone is his cool confidence β on the track he can barely qualify, let alone take home the trophy.
The teamβs race engineer, Caleb Hughes, is determined to get his star driver back in pole position, but soon the sparks flying over the radio are more chemistry than competition.
In a sport where everyone gives it their all at all times, itβs not long before Johannes and Caleb realise that their racing line is leading them towards a collision they wonβt be able to walk away from unscathedβ¦

About the Author
Rebecca J. Caffery is a queer romance author from Birmingham, UK, whose stories celebrate love, electric chemistry, fierce emotion and found families. She rediscovered her passion for writing in 2017 during a study abroad year in Canada, and sheβs been writing one too many enemies-to-lovers tropes since.
Rebecca is best known for her high-octane F1 romances, Pole Position (2024) and First to Finish (2026), where fast cars meet even faster hearts. With hopes to expand her writing repertoire into small-town romances, she continues to craft stories that celebrate queer love in all its intensity and joy.
When sheβs not writing, Rebecca can be found devouring queer romance novels, binge-watching romantic dramas and romcoms, or passionately (read screaming at her TV) supporting Arsenal Womenβs football team and McLaren Formula One Team.
