She told herself it was nothing. But nothing doesn't look at her like that. Nothing doesn't get under her skin like him.
Elena Carter just made history: the first female driver in Formula 1. But behind the applause, the grid's a battlefield.
Her brother wants her seat.
The press wants her weakness.
And Henry Wilson? He just wants her undone.
He's the worst kind of distraction: Smirking in the paddock. Whispering in her ear. Protecting her when no one else does, then pretending it meant nothing.
She should be focused. But every time he leans a little too close, She forgets that she came here to prove.
And when rivals get too close, someone always gets burned. It's just the question: When?
She was the first woman to race in Formula 1 for Mercedes-fearless, fast, and fiercely focused. He was the one and only Lewis Hamilton,the world champion,sport's reigning legend, untouchable on and off the track. When they became teammates, sparks flew-but not the good kind. Forced to play nice for the cameras, their rivalry simmered beneath every interview, every podium... until something deeper began to burn.
Then came the crash.
A devastating accident changed everything-ending her career and silencing the roar of the track in her life. Years later, she's found her voice again, not behind the wheel but behind a microphone, far from the danger, the noise, the past.
But Formula 1 isn't done with her yet.
When she returns to the paddock-now as a global music star and the girlfriend of her former teammate-she's forced to confront the man she once knew in a world she thought she'd left behind. The finish line was never supposed to lead back to him... but some stories refuse to end on impact.
