The Heart Wants What It Wants Series - FIRST BOOK.
Eleanor, a talented reporter, has been working in the Formula One world for a few years. She is determined to prove herself in a world dominated by men. She never had a good history with the opposite gender as she had been hurt before, not just once but several times. So she always keeps her guard up and focuses on solely her career.
Just when she thought that her race weekend would be like any other, an accident changes everything. It leads her to cross paths with Rafe, a charming Ferrari driver who is known for his mysterious nature hidden behind his good looks and talent on the track. It doesn't only lead to their paths crossing, but also to a misunderstanding that puts them on the wrong foot.
Despite their less-than-ideal first meeting, Rafe doesn't accept letting Eleanor think badly of him and tries to clear the air. Eleanor, being wary of men, keeps her walls up and refuses to give him a chance. But Rafe doesn't give up as he was determined on making her his, as he found himself being drawn to her since the moment he laid eyes on her months ago.
As his efforts continue, Eleanor can't but feel her walls slowly crumbling down and starts to give up to her feelings for him. But their relationship brings up the danger to her career as she's not allowed to form any kind of relationship with anyone associated with the sport. With her job involved, Eleanor can't but think about her future with Rafe who has no problem putting his career on hold for her.
Will she be able to give love another chance and risk everything for Rafe the same way he does for her? Or will she choose her career and let go of him, fearing the consequences of such forbidden love?

My Unwanted Billionaire
"Tell me, Eleanor, do you like seeing me like this? Do you like seeing me angry with you?" he yells, banging the spot above my head. I keep my mouth shut so I don't say the wrong thing and make him angrier. "Fucking answer me," he says, roughly shaking my body. "N-N-N-o-o," I stammer. "If you don't, then why don't you ever listen to me? The spanking wasn't enough? Do you need me to unleash my beast on you before you listen to me?" he asks, and I shake my head this time to tell him no. "Then give me a reason why I shouldn't take you across my legs right now and give you twenty lashes on each ass cheek for laughing at something Evan said," he says, and I pause for a minute. "You shouldn't spank me because it's my right to laugh or not at what Evan said." "You see, Eleanor, that's where you're wrong. Only I can tell you if you can laugh or not." "Excuse me?" I ask, looking at him confused and wondering if he's on something. "I own your laughter, Eleanor." "No, you don't." "I do. And not just your laughter. I own all of you." --------------------------------- Eleanor Brown is a lovely lady trying to make ends meets. She lands a job after an unfortunate event happens to her.

Under the Spotlight | Lewis Hamilton
Emma Calloway never expected to race alongside the man who made her fall in love with the sport. At just twenty-four, she's the only woman in Formula 2, already used to whispers, doubt, and second-guessing. But when Ferrari calls her up to replace Carlos Sainz at the last minute during the 2024 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, everything changes. Her debut shocks the paddock - and so does the announcement that she'll be joining Ferrari full-time the following season, as teammate to none other than Lewis Hamilton. He's a legend. A seven-time World Champion. And he has no idea she grew up idolizing him. Oh, did I mention he's forty years old? At first, Lewis sees only a young, determined rookie trying to find her footing. But race after race, Emma proves she's more than headlines or hype - she's calm under pressure, sharper than anyone expects, and quietly extraordinary. The problem is, he notices. And the more he sees, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull. Emma feels it too, but she's careful. She's already battling every stereotype in the sport. The last thing she needs is to be seen as the girl who has a crush on Lewis Hamilton. Even if, somewhere deep down, she does. As the season unfolds, so does the tension between them - intense, unspoken, impossible to ignore. They dance around it in press conferences, late-night briefings, and quiet garage corners. He's supposed to be her mentor, her teammate, her hero. He can't be anything else. But the line between admiration and something deeper begins to blur. And in a world where everything is about control, what happens when the one thing you can't control is your heart?
