Book II Sydney thought she finally had it all figured out: her dream job in McLaren and a relationship that makes her happier than she ever imagined. But dating Arvid Lindblad means stepping into a spotlight she never asked for. Also being the sister of one driver and the girlfriend of another puts her in the center of rivalries she can't control. And when the cameras turn, the fans obsess, and everything gets messy

Esme Travere thought she'd found her family when she was sixteen. Instead, she found years of bruises, broken promises, and the kind of love that came with conditions. When Severin throws her out with nothing but a carry-on and their six-month-old daughter, Esme swears Juliette will never grow up thinking love looks like this. Thanks to a chain of women with no patience for cowards, Esme ends up in Monaco, working in Pascale Leclerc's salon. And there, between hair dye and daycare runs, she meets Pascale's middle son-a Formula 1 driver with too-kind eyes, who looks at her like she's already halfway his.

Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media's in meltdown. Dr. Anastasia "Ana" Wolff, Mercedes' notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff's eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn't just a potential signing, he's the man she's been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade. And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana's carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.

My entire life, I've been surrounded by people who always seemed better than me-my parents, both highly successful in their fields, and my younger sister, the golden child who could do no wrong. Even when my world fell apart months ago, my parents dismissed it, telling me I was overreacting. Walking away from my fiancé meant walking away from everything I knew-my stable relationship, my family, my dream career. In an instant, it was all gone. Now, I just want to find my way back-to be the person who stands on her own, who creates beautiful spaces without the weight of the past pressing down on her. What I didn't expect was for that journey to lead me to Monaco... and to a Formula 1 driver who would turn my world upside down.

Chiara prints his worksheets. Kimi pretends to forget formulas just to talk to her. It was all working-until she stopped helping, and he realized he might've already lost her.

Max Verstappen is a World Champion. Isabelle Leclerc is invisible. She watched her family give up everything for Charles' career-Arthur's karting, their father's savings, even her childhood horse. She understood. She never asked for more. But Max does. He notices the things no one else does, listens when no one else will, and puts her first in ways she never imagined. With him, she isn't an afterthought-she's a choice. And for the first time, she realizes she doesn't have to be invisible.

When Aurelie Leclerc pretends to hate the boy who was always around Or When Pierre Gasly makes it his life's mission to unravel the only girl who's ever told him no.

Oscar Piastri had always been a calm, collected kind of guy. Unshakeable, even. Lando Norris, on the other hand? Not so much. And today? Today was the day Lando fully lost it. (Also known as: Oscar Piastri got married at 18...and forgot to mention it.)
