"Seems to me," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear, "that you have two heartbeats." 

"Oh really?" Dakota raised a brow, unconsciously pressing her thighs together. 

Alessandro hummed in response, his green eyes dark with lust. 

His racing suit hung loosely over his hips, the skin tight fireproof showing off his rippling muscles. 

"One here," he began, pushing a lock of hair off her shoulder. He took her hand, pressing it against her chest. 

Her heart hammered against her rib cage as if it was threatening to jump out. 

"Would you like to know where the other one is, Dakota?" 

Her breath hitched at her name leaving his lips. 

He spun her around, the two falling back onto the couch that was against the wall. She held her breath as he took her hand again. 

Slowly, he led her hand down her stomach. 

Lower. 

Lower.
-------------------------
The roar of V6 engines. The whirring of wheel guns. The sweet taste of champagne. 

All things that made Alessandro's heart race. The thrill of racing on tracks at speeds one could only imagine.  

The 2021 season was one that Italian Alessandro Moreno never saw coming. His first year as a Formula One driver. A chance to be 1 of 20 lucky enough to race in the most elite & selective sport in the world. 

He only had one shot. Out of nearly 7.9 billion people, only 20 had the opportunity. And there was no way he was letting anything fuck it up. 

Or so he thought. 

There was only one thing Dakota Sánchez loved in life. Speed. 

A thrilling feeling spread through her body at the sound of engines revving. The hustle and bustle up and down the pitlanes. The drama, the overtakes, the wheel to wheel racing. F1 had stolen her heart. 

COMPLETE - 
In a sport dominated by upper-class males, Dakota knew her options were limited. But she wasn't going to give up that easy. With one phone call on a late January evening, Dakota found herself in a shiny Aston Martin Safety Car.

She didn't tell her brother until last minute, and for good reason. Daniel worries for Mia's trusting heart in the hands of one of the boys, knowing that they could crush it with their bare fingers. But his warnings cannot keep her from doing her job, and ultimately learning more and more about each racer in each team.

Or will past relationships and old Vendettas come back to ruin his forever relationship. - 'Mia, I want you to come, of course I do, but i do not trust you around any of these boys and you're gonna be working with all of them.' Daniel sighed, pulling me into a hug and ruffling up my hair. 'Why don't we start with, oh my, I'm so proud of you!' I rolled my eyes. 'Oh come on, you know how proud I am of you, I knew you'd get it the second I heard about the opening. But now I'm worried about you.' He said, opening the passenger side door for me and walking around to his own. 'I'm 24 years old, Daniel, I'm not a child anymore.' I said, softly. 'You're still my baby sister, and f1 drivers are arseholes.' He muttered. 'I know, I'm related to one.' He nudged me, starting the engine and putting on his seatbelt, looking over at me silently, giving me the parent look he did all too often nowadays. 'You're there to do your job. Please, just do your job. I'd hate to go all mean on someone.' 'You can't be mean.' I chuckled. 'If anyone was to hurt you, you bet I would.' He responded. - I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE F1 DRIVERS OR NAMED PEOPLE IN THIS BOOK. ⚠️-may be some sexual scenes, sensitive subjects and bad language.

No one could have ever predicted that one party and a drink too much could have changed Amelia's life for ever. But she fell, and she fell hard. And her life became filled with drama, love, friendship and cars. [DISCLAIMER] I do not own the picture on my book cover, but I made the book cover myself. This is my own idea, and I hope that no one else has made it before. Also, I love Formula 1, but I don't know everything (I try my best), so I'm sorry if I get anything wrong. Enjoy reading
