Léo Zhang lives his life measured in discipline, pain, and control. An MMA fighter based in Paris, he has learned how to endure-how to keep his feet grounded in the present and his heart carefully guarded. Raised by his grandmother after losing his mother too young, Léo understands responsibility and restraint better than most.
Isack Hadjar lives at two hundred miles per hour. A Formula 1 driver chasing fractions of seconds, podiums, and the weight of expectation, his world is loud, fast, and unforgiving. Yet in the quiet moments between races, there is one constant-late-night FaceTime calls, shared silences, and a friendship that feels far too intimate to be accidental.
They are best friends. They hug without hesitation, touch without fear, and love without permission-except neither of them has found the courage to say it out loud.
As distance stretches between Paris and racetracks around the world, and the lines between friendship and something more blur with every call, every race, every fight, Léo and Isack must confront the truth they both already know: some feelings don't need speed to be powerful-only honesty to be real.
A friends-to-lovers story about quiet devotion, unspoken love, and the courage it takes to finally cross the line.
