Lena Schumacher walked away from Formula 1 the day her father did. Not when he retired. But the day the world lost Michael Schumacher to a ski accident that left his body alive but his spirit gone. Now ten years later, she's done everything to avoid the world that stole her father: She doesn't follow the races. She didn't watch her brother drive. She's cut off every connection to the paddock ... until she meets Charles Leclerc. She doesn't know who he is. He doesn't know who she is. And for a moment, they exist as two strangers, bound not by fame or family, but by the same kind of grief they've both tried to outrun. But secrets don't stay buried long - especially in Formula 1. When Lena learns the man she's falling for races for the very sport that reminds her of everything she's lost, it feels like betrayal. When Charles finds out her last name, everything shifts. Because her father isn't just anyone. He's the reason Charles fell in love with racing. As feelings deepen and the truth unravels, they're left with a question that could destroy everything: Can love survive when the very thing that broke you is the thing keeping you apart?

When cheerful and hopelessly clumsy bakery assistant Lila Hart is forced out of her apartment due to a surprise renovation, she's desperate to find a place to crash.

What starts as chaotic mornings, passive-aggressive post-it notes, and constant miscommunication turns into warm coffee shared over city sunrises, quiet understanding, and late-night confessions. As they navigate shared space, they might just discover that love doesn't always knock - sometimes it crashes right through your door holding a spilled tray of muffins.
