Ash Ryder clawed her way out of a deadbeat Chicago childhood and into the world of Formula 1 with nothing but raw talent, grit, and a dirt bike she bought with dishwashing tips. Now, at just 19, she's the youngest driver on the grid-and the first woman to race for Stryker, one of the sport's most elite teams.
But nothing about this life came easy. Least of all James Arnault.
Her golden-boy teammate has a legacy soaked in champagne, generational wealth, and podium finishes. He's polished, press-friendly, and infuriatingly smug. He's also her biggest rival. And the only person who might be able to understand the pressure she lives under.
When team orders are ignored and sparks fly-on and off the track-Ash and James are forced into a high-stakes slow dance of rivalry, resentment, and reluctant partnership. With media campaigns, sponsor obligations, and a shot at the world championship on the line, the two must decide: will they burn each other out, or burn the world down together?
