It was supposed to be simple. A fake relationship, a bit of public hand-holding, and a few well-timed smiles for the camera. Nothing they couldn't handle. They're both used to pressure, just usually the kind that comes with an engine. But between media appearances, private jokes, and the occasional almost-too-convincing moment, the lines start to blur. And suddenly, what started as a carefully constructed lie doesn't feel so fake anymore.

I wanted the title. I didn't expect to want him more. Max and Charles had the most intense and interesting chemistry-not romantic, of course. Their rough, tangled past haunted them like a math teacher who knows you cheated but can't prove it. Getting seats in F1 was a promotion they both truly earned. Max: aggressive, dominant, reckless.

She hated the way he always managed to be right, even when he was wrong. He had the kind of confidence that made her blood boil. They were rivals, and not just on the track.
