Elliana Verstappen has spent her whole life in the paddock's shadows - cheering from the sidelines, hiding in garages, falling asleep in go-karts after long race days. As Max Verstappen's younger sister, the world of Formula 1 has always been her second home. But this season, something feels different. With her law degree finally behind her, Ellie flies into Monaco for what she thinks will be a quiet few weeks with her brother before the chaos of the 2024 season begins. But when an old family friend - and Max's long-time rival - Charles Leclerc reenters her orbit, everything she's tried to tuck away neatly in the past threatens to unravel. He's charming, warm, maddeningly observant... and entirely off-limits. Caught between the familiar roar of engines and the soft, dangerous pull of something more, Ellie has to navigate what it means to want something for herself - even if it risks everything. A story about timing, loyalty, and the kind of love that doesn't need a checkered flag to feel like winning.
