A girl chasing her dream. A boy looking for the light. When Florence Nyx started her internship at a Formula 1 paddock, she expected a lot. Fast cars. Exclusive impressions most people could only dream of. An entire array of skills she'd acquire. What she didn't expect was the avalanche of hurdles thrown in her way -- but none of them knew who Florence Nyx was behind her facade, behind the image of a world champion's daughter. She was fire. She was fast. And most of all... she was underestimated. Phoenix McCoy didn't know what hit him when he got thrown out of his team. His whole career was on the line, just because of that one stupid mistake. One mistake. How far will he go to rectify it? To pursue his dreams? One thing was clear: He saw the light, and he wanted it. All he could hope was he didn't get burned.

Perrie Lancaster has zero plans after college. No dream job she's working toward, no one to impress, and no care for anything other than making her last two years of college one big party. Levi Saints wants nothing more than to follow his dream of the Olympics. He's the swim team captain, spends most of his time submerged in water, and doesn't venture out into the unknown. Perrie is the unknown. Coming from a mildly depressing childhood, Perrie isn't shy about her distaste toward athletes. After an unfortunate disaster of a 'meet-cute', Levi makes it his mission to show her that not all athletes are soulless jocks with nothing better to do than think they're better than everyone like she's been led to believe for so long. Perrie isn't giving in so easily, but one thing she didn't count on, is how competitive Levi Saints can be.
