"I lost myself in the blue of your eyes, blue as the ocean we're sailing on." The sea has always been Max Verstappen's escape - a vast, untamed expanse where he feels most alive and closest to an event from his past. As the confident and carefree captain of one of Monaco's most luxurious yachts, Max is no stranger to fleeting pleasures and one-night stands. But when his company begins sponsoring Ferrari, Max finds himself drawn to someone he never expected - a quiet, reserved driver whose focus on racing has kept him sheltered from the chaos of love and it's passion. For Charles Leclerc, life has always been about precision and control. Behind the wheel of a Ferrari, he's a rising star, but off the track, his world is small, cautious, and untouched by the intensity of romance. When a chance encounter brings him into Max's orbit, Charles is captivated by the boldness and freedom Max exudes. Yet, as their worlds collide, he's faced with desires he's never dared to explore - and feelings he can't ignore.

But one reckless, drunk night at the Monaco GP after party changed everything. Their messy encounter in a bathroom stall was supposed to be a mistake-something they could both forget and move past. Max insisted it meant nothing, and Charles knew he had to move on. But how do you forget something that felt so right? Falling for the competition is risky, but breaking all the rules has never felt so good.
