But one reckless, drunk night at the Monaco GP after party changed everything. Their messy encounter in a bathroom stall was supposed to be a mistake-something they could both forget and move past. Max insisted it meant nothing, and Charles knew he had to move on. But how do you forget something that felt so right? Falling for the competition is risky, but breaking all the rules has never felt so good.

They used to call it professionalism. Now it just feels like running in circles. Ash never planned to fall for her neighbor. Especially not when her neighbor is Shay, Red Bull's star driver and the definition of unreachable. To the world, Shay is precise. Calculated. Untouchable. To Ash, she's the woman who leaves her helmet by the door and who downs cofee like its water. They live on opposite sides of the same wall, work under the same roof, and keep finding excuses to end up in the same place. Between late-night engine tests, quiet cups of coffee, and doors left half-open, the line between professional and personal starts to blur. Sometimes, love isn't across oceans or racetracks. It's just the door between us. (P.S. THE COVER IS FROM PINTEREST. CREDITS TO ARTIST)

Only a few things help him find solace in life, his father's grave, and the boy he's feared of loving, Max Verstappen. Too scared to speak in person, Charles finds a way around it. To text him anonymously.

He never expected to find love in a dangerous viking. Prince Charles had grown up in a world of isolation but what would happen if an attack upon his home would lead him to the world of the vikings.

One team. Two formula one drivers. And one goal : winning the world constructor's championship. Well, if only it was that easy. Max and Charles have known each other for what feels like forever. And their relationship has been nothing but tense. Fortunately, they managed to make it work once they both joined the formula 1 world. Avoiding or simply tolerating the other's presence throughout the years. That's what they thought at least...right until the moment they become teammates. And everything changes.
