Angelica's life is far from ordinary. At 17, she's stuck in the garage, fixing cars while her uncle wastes away at the bottle. All she wants is to live like the other teens-carefree, fun, and full of life. But instead, she's caught up in a world that's suffocating her.
But right now, Angelica's world is falling apart.
Her best friends? Liars.
Her uncle? A disaster.
The only thing that is the same is the garage where she works at.
Then there's Reid, a 23-year-old Formula 1 driver who's on the edge of losing everything. He's never won a race, and the media wants to make him fall to the ground.
And right now, Reid's world was static.
His career? Still.
His champagne? Nowhere to be found.
The only thing that is the same is the media that judges him for every micro mistake.
"This is a bad idea, and you know it." I said, my voice not as firm as I wanted it to be, as I stood by the bed, my back to him.
Reid steps forward, his presence overwhelming, but he doesn't touch me. Not yet. And impatience made my skin burn.
"Sometimes bad ideas are the best ones, don't you think?" he murmurs, his voice low and teasing. He moves closer, and I felt the heat radiating off of him as his chest was almost pressed against my back. "You want me to stop?" He mumbled as he leaned closer to me, his lips brushing against my ear. And in that moment, I didn't give a single fuck if it was a bad idea. "No." I whispered as I turned around.
Their worlds collide, but it's not all smooth race. They're both envious of someone else's life, of the things they can't have. But sometimes envy sparks something deeper, something more complicated. Something that both of them can't get enough of.
Want to know what happens if you mix envy, competition, luxury, some assholes, fast cars, an alternator and a lot of grease with Monaco as a background?
Well, ready?
It's lights out and away we go.
