Katherine Martini had one dream: Ferrari.
Ever since she watched her first Monaco GP at the age of five, she had been captivated by Michael Schumacher's scarlet car. Eighteen years later, that dream was finally becoming a reality with an internship at Maranello and a permanent position all but guaranteed.
However, it only took one phone call to change everything.
Sixteen months later, Kate is a single mom, balancing the demands of raising twins while testing marine engines from home. Ferrari has become nothing more than a distant memory, locked away in a drawer for which the key has long been lost.
Yet, when her revolutionary project catches the eye of the new Team Principal, that drawer starts to creak open.
But the circumstances have shifted: traveling the world doesn't exactly seem compatible with motherhood. Ferrari, however, refuses to give up.
With a nanny in tow and a project for the new season bearing her name, Kate is ready to return to the track. She can only hope this opportunity will prove to be the pit wall she had always dreamed of sitting on, rather than a wall she's destined to crash into.
Certainly not in the way she keeps crashing-literally-into the team's star driver.
Charles Leclerc has swept into her life just as she was coming to terms with her new trajectory. With a charming smile, an uncanny ability to soothe her children, and a natural talent for slipping past her defenses, Charles is the one variable Kate can't calculate.
In a world where every millisecond counts, Kate will have to figure out if there is still room for the girl who used to dream of the scarlet car.
Because perhaps, to cross the most important finish line, it's not enough to be obsessed with controlling every single variable; you need the courage to let someone drive alongside you, ready to catch your tow and keep you on the racing line.
