The championship is no longer just a game of tenths of a second. It's a war of attrition. As the battle for the Constructors' Championship reaches a boiling point between rival powerhouses Vanguard and Phoenix Red, the tension in the paddock is suffocating. For Vanguard's star tire-changer, Cal Vance, the pressure is a physical weight. When a horrific, rain-slicked crash at the Japanese Grand Prix shatters his confidence and triggers his deepest anxieties, Cal finds himself spiralling into a dark, vulnerable place he can't escape on his own. Enter Mateo "Teo" Rossi. Phoenix Red's towering, fiercely protective head jackman has spent months keeping Cal grounded in the shadows. But as Cal pushes him away out of fear and shame, Teo refuses to let his partner break. In a high-stakes play of dominance, submission, and raw emotional reclamation, Teo forces Cal to find his inner strength, triggering a powerful shift in their dynamic. No longer just a dominant protector and a vulnerable soul, they must learn to stand as two equal halves of an unbreakable whole. From the dusty heat of Austin to the suffocating altitude of Mexico City, and finally under the glittering floodlights of the Abu Dhabi finale, Cal and Teo must navigate near-exposures, relentless media scrutiny, and the agonizing threat of winter separation. They survived the friction. But can they survive the force of their own connection? Torque is the second installment of the high-octane M/M sports romance series. It features intense hurt/comfort, dynamic-shifting power play, and a love worth breaking every rule in the paddock for.

At 200 miles per hour, there are no lies. But behind closed doors, we are the biggest lie in motorsport. Leo Montgomery is the pristine "Golden Boy" of Formula 1. Driven by the suffocating legacy of his three-time World Champion father and locked under the corporate thumb of Vanguard Racing, Leo is one bad race away from a total mental collapse. He is quiet, elegant, and drowning. Nikolai "Niko" Vlasov is the "Russian Beast." Driving for Phoenix Red, Niko is a chaotic, unfiltered force of nature who treats the track like a playground and the media like a joke. He represents everything Leo hates-and everything Leo secretly craves. When a post-qualifying panic attack forces them into the same locked room in Monaco, the tension of their bitter rivalry explodes into a desperate, physical collision. What was supposed to be a one-time release of high-adrenaline friction turns into a dangerous, secret arrangement spanning eight years across different continents, luxury hotels, and high-speed circuits. But as the pressure of the World Championship reaches a boiling point, the line between hate and something much deeper begins to blur. With the cameras watching their every move and a homophobic paddock culture waiting to destroy them, they must decide if winning the crown is worth losing the only man who knows what lies beneath the pristine armour. An explosive, high-heat, enemies-to-lovers M/M F1 romance featuring heavy power dynamics, deep anxiety representation, a submissive golden boy, a fiercely dominant Russian rival, and a love story that redlines.

Avery Reed has spent their entire life living between possibilities. As the beloved superhero Duality, they can transform between two powerful forms: Oracle, who sees and manipulates probability. Aegis, who bends energy and force itself. To the world, Duality is a symbol of hope. To Avery, they're just trying to survive another day. But when impossible probability anomalies begin appearing across London, Avery discovers something terrifying: Across thousands of possible futures... They die. Again. And again. And again. Only a handful of futures allow Avery to survive. And in every single one, the same person appears beside them. Nathan Walker. Their best friend. The ordinary architect who possesses no powers, no destiny, and no explanation for why reality seems determined to keep him close. As future visions grow unstable and timelines begin collapsing, Avery finds themselves caught between a mysterious observer known as Paradox, a dying future, and feelings they've spent years refusing to examine. Because surviving tomorrow may be impossible. And falling in love with your best friend might be even harder. A story about identity, choice, found family, and the people who make the future worth facing. --- Genre * Superhero * LGBTQ+ * MLM Romance * Science Fantasy * Found Family * Contemporary Fantasy * Slice of Life * Slow Burn Romance --- LGBTQ+ Representation * Genderfluid Main Character * MLM Romance * Multiple LGBTQ+ Supporting Characters * Identity Exploration * Positive Queer Relationships * Found Family Themes Trigger Warnings This novel contains: * Discussion of death * Repeated future death visions * Near-death experiences * Emotional distress * Anxiety * Panic and fear responses * Reality collapse imagery * Existential themes * Mild injuries * Grief themes * Psychological pressure * Discussions of mortality No graphic violence.
