She's spent her life fighting for something different-something most people can't quite grasp: the desire to be seen, valued, and cherished for who she truly is, while fiercely guarding her heart against disappointment. With emotionally and physically distant parents, two incomplete college semesters, and a modest dream of her own, she's firmly planted her roots in the quiet charm of Vail, Colorado, far from the noise of the world.
Jarek Romanov wasn't part of her dream. Or was he?
A rising star in the fast-paced world of sports car racing, Jarek hails from Daytona Beach, Florida, where he's always lived in the shadow of his father's legendary racing legacy. For Jarek, it's never been about winning; it's about the thrill of the drive, the escape from expectations, and the freedom the track offers.
But when he meets Faye, something shifts. She's not like the others. As he becomes drawn into her world of dusty pages and quiet strength, Jarek faces a choice: will he chase the life his father envisioned for him, or will he forge his own path, one that leads to the unexpected pleasures and challenges Faye brings?
In a story where dreams collide and hearts race, Faye and Jarek must navigate what it means to truly live-and love-outside the lines.
