Y/N, the Princess of Valeria, has always lived a life dictated by duty, tradition, and royal expectations. With a wedding to Prince Alaric of Arden looming, she is bound by her parents' wishes to marry for political gain, not love. But as the kingdom prepares for the first-ever Grand Prix in Valeria, a new world of excitement and danger begins to open up before her.
When she meets Lando Norris, a charismatic and rebellious Formula 1 driver, sparks fly. Despite being worlds apart, their connection is undeniable. Torn between her royal responsibilities and her growing feelings for the charming race car driver, Y/N must navigate the delicate balance of love and duty. The future queen of Valeria is faced with a choice-stay in her gilded cage or risk it all for a chance at true love with a man who isn't a prince.
As the media begins to speculate, Y/N's loyalty is tested, and the pressure from her family becomes unbearable. Her fate hangs in the balance as she struggles to find a way to follow her heart without losing everything she has ever known.
They were never meant to last. At least, that's what everyone said.
Lando Norris, Formula 1's golden boy, is used to pressure. The high stakes, the flashing cameras, the constant scrutiny - it all comes with the life he's built. But when Zoë Kingston, the fashion icon who turns heads wherever she goes, steps into his world, she's the one thing that feels untouched by it all.
Until suddenly, she isn't.
As the spotlight grows harsher and the lines between love and expectation blur, Lando is forced to ask himself: How do you hold on to something that was never meant to last?
