Sofia Rodriguez thought she had it all. A boyfriend she loves and who loves her, her job as a content creator, two best friends with whom she experiences and shares everything, and the dream of making her own music, which she is chasing. But what if the relationship she always thought was perfect, like her parents', isn't perfect at all and one night can turn her whole life upside down? What if your entire life goes completely off the rails and you no longer really know what you want in your life? And as the saying goes? One bad thing is usually followed by a thousand others. But what if all these setbacks lead to something bigger? An opportunity that Sofia never expected to get. A new life, a new zest for life and all because of her two best friends, new friendships she makes and an all-too-familiar Formula 1 driver who shows her how beautiful life can be. However, being in the spotlight is not always an advantage, especially if the press is just waiting for you to make mistakes. Lando Norris can tell you a thing or two about that. But when he meets Sofia, he quickly realizes that she doesn't see him as a Formula 1 driver, but simply as himself without all the prejudices. But having deep scars from the past like Sofia and a playboy reputation like Lando doesn't make it easy for either of them. Can the two of them fight for what they have and are they strong enough for this fight? _ DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the characters except Sofia Rodriguez and her associated story.

"This isn't some sick obsession - it's love. Real love. The kind that consumes you, the kind that makes you reckless. She doesn't see it yet. The way her soul calls to mine, the way her eyes burn holes through my control. Millie was never supposed to matter. She was supposed to be just another stranger in the crowd, another face I'd forget within seconds. But I knew better. Now I can't stay away. I canrt breathe when she's not near. And when someone tries to hurt her... I become something else entirely. Something darker. They'd call it madness. I'd call it devotion. Because when it comes to her, there's nothing I wouldn't do - no line I wouldn't cross, no sin I wouldn't commit - to keep her safe. Even if it means burning the world to the ground... or taking away what she cherishes the most." ⚠ : trigger warning : dark romance. please read the trigger warnings.

She doesn't see me - and that's how it's supposed to be. While she lives her life in the light, I move through the dark, cleaning up the chaos she never notices. She calls it coincidence when things somehow fall into place. When danger disappears before it reaches her. When people who hurt her suddenly vanish from her life. It's not coincidence. It's me. I've built my world around her safety. My every move, every breath, every drop of blood I spill - it's all for her. She'll never know how many nights I've spent watching her window, or how many times I've stopped myself from stepping closer. She deserves peace. And I'll give it to her, even if it means losing my mind in the process. But peace never lasts. Secrets have a way of crawling into the light. And when mine finally do... she'll see what it really means to be cared for by a monster hiding in the shadows. - Book One in the "Shadows of the Heart" Series
