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?

The world had stopped for both of them - just in different ways. Oscar Piastri lay in a hospital bed, ribs aching, silence louder than any engine he'd ever known. Next door, Alara Finch held her newborn son against her chest, whispering promises she wasn't sure she could keep. Between them, only a thin wall. And the sound that would change everything - a baby's first cry, slicing through the quiet, finding him when he thought he'd been lost for good.

Charlotte Hayes never imagined her career would lead her here: designing the dream home of one of Formula 1's brightest stars. For a young architect trying to prove herself, it's the commission of a lifetime. But what begins as a professional challenge soon becomes far more complicated. George Russell has it all-talent, fame, and the perfect girlfriend by his side. At least, that's what the world sees. Behind closed doors, in late-night design sessions and stolen conversations, Charlotte discovers the man beneath the polished surface: vulnerable, thoughtful, yearning for something he can't quite name. Boundaries blur. Lines are crossed. The blueprint of George's new home becomes the blueprint of a desire neither of them expected-and neither of them can ignore. In a world where reputations mean everything, how much are they willing to risk for a chance at something real?
