The Formula 1 paddock is the last place Rosa ever wanted to return to.
Once upon a time, she raced there too, just to make her father proud. But when karting stopped feeling like a dream and started feeling like pressure, she walked away. Now she's built a new life far from the roar of engines, chasing victory on the tennis court instead.
But old worlds have a way of pulling you back.
When Rosa visits the paddock after years away, she expects nothing more than an awkward conversation with the father she barely understands anymore. Instead, she finds herself face-to-face with the one person who seems to have taken her place.
Kimi Antonelli
Young, brilliant, and effortlessly confident, Kimi is the rising star her father can't stop talking about-the driver he believes will change the future of the team. To Rosa, he's everything she used to be... and everything she couldn't stay.
Kimi doesn't understand why the sharp-tongued tennis player he keeps running into looks at him like he's done something wrong.
And Rosa doesn't understand why the boy she was determined to dislike is slowly becoming impossible to ignore.
Between roaring engines and championship dreams, rivalry turns into something neither of them expected.
Because sometimes the fastest way to fall... is right at the apex.
