Dante Shade was once a name that made the world hold its breath. The king of speed, the storm on the track-until a scandal he never caused shattered his career overnight. Betrayed, disgraced, and forgotten, Dante now walks in the ruins of a life that once blazed with glory.
Then comes Micah Blade-wide-eyed, sweet-talking, and brimming with admiration. A rising racer with a dangerous secret: he's been in love with Dante for as long as he can remember. When he joins the broken team, he hides his true self behind a smile, determined to help Dante rise again... and to finally be seen by the man he's adored from afar.
But love born from shadows cannot stay hidden forever.
When Dante begins to uncover the cracks in Micah's facade-the jealousy, the obsession, the possessive streak masked by puppyish charm-he's forced to question: Was anything between them real?
Yet strangely, the more Micah sheds his mask, the more Dante finds himself drawn to the storm beneath the sweetness. Because in that storm is someone real-someone who burns just as fiercely as he does.
But just as their fragile bond begins to deepen, Dante's strict, traditionalist adoptive father returns, bringing with him the weight of expectations, silence, and shame. In a world that already turned its back on them once, can two men scarred by secrets dare to fight for something as fragile as love?
A fallen star. A hidden flame. And a love that defies the track, the past, and fate itself.
