When Alexandra Saint, an art student from one of Europe's wealthiest families, is approached with a proposition to enter a PR relationship, she expects nothing more than another calculated move in the world of high society. The catch? Her 'boyfriend' is none other than Charles Leclerc-the golden boy of Ferrari, Formula 1's most beloved driver, and a man whose life is as meticulously controlled as his precision on the track. With Charles facing mounting pressure from the media and his team to solidify his image as the perfect ambassador for Ferrari, and Alexandra looking to step out of the shadow of her family name and build a career of her own, the arrangement seems mutually beneficial. Public appearances, viral social media moments, the perfect fairytale romance-manufactured for the world to see. But as the act continues, the lines between performance and reality begin to blur. Alexandra finds herself drawn to Charles beyond the cameras, captivated by his passion, his quiet vulnerability, and the rare moments where the weight of expectation slips from his shoulders. And Charles-who has always kept his heart guarded-starts to crave her presence in ways he never anticipated. As their 'relationship' becomes the center of media frenzy, external pressures mount. Rumors swirl, rival drivers and industry insiders watch closely, and Alexandra and Charles are forced to confront the question neither of them expected to ask: What happens when pretending isn't enough anymore? In the high-speed world of fame, racing, and elite society, Alexandra and Charles must navigate their way through a love story that was never supposed to be real-until it became the most real thing of all.

In a world where gods play favorites and monsters hunt in shadows, love might be the deadliest curse of all. Max, son of Ares, has lived his whole life under Hera's cruel blessing-a curse that destroys anyone who gets too close. He's the best fighter at Camp Half-Blood, feared for his temper and his blade. Then Charles arrives-a golden boy with a past he won't talk about, and anger he knows how to use. The gods whisper that Charles is the second half of the key to ending a threat older than Olympus itself. Thrown together on a quest across ancient ruins, and monster-infested roads, Max and Charles will face curses, trials, and the darkest corners of their own trauma. The deeper they go, the more the line between hate and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But with a god's legacy at stake and a curse that punishes every bond Max makes, falling for each other might not just be forbidden-it might be fatal. Percy Jackson AU
