As she sat, back propped up against the blue pillows on her headboard, her hand hovered over the submit button. She had this awful feeling that if she submitted this job application, her life would never be the same again. Hazel hadn't expected to receive a job offer for the International School of Monaco, but she knew that it would be an offer she'd be an idiot to refuse. Running away from a toxic ex, Hazel finds herself in Monte Carlo, surrounded by the rich and famous. Looking for a quiet life where she can teach chemistry to pupils in a new environment, she never expected to bump into somebody who could tear her away from the normalcy she craved.

Max exhaled sharply, shaking his head as he sank onto the edge of the couch. "You scared everyone today, you know that?" Viktoriya blinked at him, caught off guard by the raw honesty in his voice. She hadn't expected him to say that. She hadn't expected him to care. "I'm fine," she said automatically, wrapping her arms around herself. Max's expression darkened. "You passed out on the fucking track, Viktoriya." She flinched slightly, but before she could respond, he continued. "I got out of my car ready to rip your head off for that crash," he admitted, voice lower now. "And then I saw you, just lying there, and I swear to God, I..." He trailed off, shaking his head as if the words physically refused to come out. Childhood friends to rivals to lovers Posting a chapter every day!

Venla Jasmin Evans never planned on falling for a Formula 1 star, let alone designing Red Bull Racing's merch and quietly becoming part of Max Verstappen's fast-paced world. Their love was real-until fame, distance, and the pressure of racing tore them apart. She walked away in May 2023 with a secret growing inside her. Now, living quietly in Helsinki as a single mother and graphic designer, Venla raises her daughter Helmi-a little girl with a heart full of wonder and the same piercing blue eyes as the man who never knew she existed. But secrets don't stay hidden forever. When their paths cross again, Venla must face everything she tried to leave behind: the love, the heartbreak, and the truth. Because the moment Max sees her... and sees her eyes... everything changes.

"Happy?" "I am the furthest thing from happy when I'm in a room with you." ~~~~~~ At the start of the 2022 Formula One season, defending World Champion, Max Verstappen, is ready to fight once again for the title. At the first sign of weakness, nineteen other drivers stand ready to pounce and seize victory for themselves. For Max, with his place in racing history on the line, failure is not an option. Since the introduction of the hit reality Netflix show, Drive to Survive, the drivers have had to perform on the world's largest stage, with millions of critical eyes watching on. This year, to ensure the continuation of record-breaking ratings, Netflix have struck a deal with each Formula 1 team. A dedicated buddy is to be assigned to each driver with the aim of securing exclusive behind-the-scenes content. As someone with a PR problem and an anti-media reputation, Max is informed by the Red Bull senior management that this arrangement is absolutely mandatory. The one positive? He gets to choose the buddy.

"I never asked for this." Her voice was steady, but her hands curled into fists in her lap. "Neither did I." His reply was calm, almost bored-but his eyes didn't leave hers. They have the status. The ring. The home. The last name. Everything but Love. They were strangers with rings on their fingers. Bound by names, legacy, and expectations they never agreed to. Emilia Duval didn't want a marriage, and certainly not to the man with too much charm and too little sincerity. Charles Leclerc didn't need a wife who looked at him like he was a contract waiting to be broken. But in a world where image is everything, love is the one thing they never expected to find.

Late night talks, fighting over snacks and an undeniable pull, threaten to blur the lines between friendship and something more. But in a world where loyalty is everything and love comes second to winning, how do you hold on to something you were never meant to have? Some rules are meant to be broken...but at what cost? and who will get hurt along the way? ⭐️ Brothers rival/forbidden romance trope

Our secret moments in a crowded room They got no idea about me and you There is an indentation in the shape of you Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo - Dress by Taylor Swift ----- When Lydia Joanne Rivers moved into her sleek new apartment in Monaco, the last thing she expected was to end up in a screaming match with her next-door neighbor-who also happens to be Max Verstappen, Formula 1's most ruthless driver and international sex symbol. He's cold, clipped, and infuriatingly smug. She's fire and fury in red lipstick, a rising star stylist for Chanel who doesn't back down. Their first encounter ends in slammed doors and shouted obscenities. Their second? Even worse. But the tension between them simmers beneath every stare, every insult, every accidental brush of skin in the elevator. And when tempers flare, so does the heat-intense, electric, and impossible to ignore. He's too old for her. She's too complicated for him. They can't stand each other- and they can't stop thinking about each other. In a city built on secrets and speed, the line between hate and desire blurs fast. And one wrong move might just leave them both breathless. Enemies, neighbors, lovers... eventually. Max Verstappen x FemOc racing driver x stylist

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.
