In which the first female F1 driver since 1992 pretends to be her twin brother. Kieran Walsh-Fischer, Ferrari's newest driver, has experienced loss and betrayal all her life. In the relentless, misogynistic world of Formula One she pretends to be her brother in an attempt to open the doors for other women. Though will that bet with reality pay off?
Struggling with not only the grief of losing her twin, but also the feeling of helplessness with losing her only confidant, she struggles to find her own identity. Not only the grief of her brother's loss, but also past grief she never processed properly, come back as she tries to pave her way.
What she didn't expect was to fall in love along the way.
・゜・。・゜。・。・゜or ・゜・。・゜。・。・゜
In which Ferrari's golden boy has to help hide his new teammates identity from the world's prying eyes. With the pressure of the fan's and team's expectations and all the eyes on him while his new teammate outperforms him, he didn't expect to fall in love.
Especially not with his teammate, the one person who cannot afford to be in a relationship, as it would only distract from the whole stunt. Or the fact that that would be an interesting story to tell. Not to mention how tall the walls around her are and how broken her soul is.
A story of self discovery, living with death of lovers and family and dealing with the scars of past betrayal, while the seed of unconditional love grows and festers in the most unexpected place.

➶｡˚ part four of the RACING HEARTS series Carlos Sainz's career had seemingly hit its peak-or so everyone, including Carlos himself, believed. After a heartbreaking breakup with his long-term girlfriend, he found himself struggling to navigate life. Instead of entering his villain era on track, he started partying and sleeping with different women to fill the void. His lack of focus started to be evident on the track as well. While his teammate, Charles Leclerc, became the World Champion, Carlos was fighting to stay in the top ten. Alexandra Serrano had worked tirelessly her entire life. As the sister of a former karting driver and famous model, Marco, she always wanted to be known for more than just being "someone's sister." With a passion for motorsport and writing, she became a journalist at a renowned newspaper. In her role, she couldn't ignore the lifestyle changes and poor performance of a particular Ferrari driver. Naturally, Carlos became the subject of several of her articles. When these two very different people cross paths, they instantly know they will never be friends. Instead, they become rivals, each determined to bring the other down. Thus begins the great war between them. Despite their enmity, they share one common trait: ambition. A drive that surpasses their rivalry and the hatred they feel for each other. Or perhaps, beneath all that animosity, there is something even stronger. Something greater and unexpected. © all rights reserved, lxvenderhze 2024-2025
Pole position // Charles Leclerc
Mia Ricciardo, the younger sister of f1 all-star Daniel Ricciardo, secured a surprise job managing the f1 YouTube channel, when her own videos began to get a fast following. 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. Charles Leclerc has the looks, he has the humour, he has the pick-up lines, but does he have exactly what it takes to win Mia over and keep her close for the rest of the season? 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.
Horizon| L.N.4
Grief doesn't always come with funerals. Sometimes, it comes quietly-through the slammed door of an apartment you swore you'd never return to. Through the bruises that finally faded but left something heavier behind. Beatrice Piastri knew this kind of grief. The quiet kind. The kind you carry in your chest long after the world thinks you're fine. Leaving him hadn't been the hardest part. Surviving him had. Now, months later, she was back in the paddock-Oscar's little sister with a name of her own, finally trying to breathe again. She'd built a wall of armor out of silence and sharp smiles, convinced she didn't need anyone else. Until him. Lando Norris wasn't supposed to notice her. Not really. Not in the way he did. He had his own weight to carry: the pressure of a world watching, a team that expected wins, and a legacy he was still trying to build before the world decided he'd missed his chance. The fun, smiling front man of McLaren-charming, chaotic, untouchable-was just a shell on most days. Behind the jokes was a mind overclocked with pressure, self-doubt, and the unbearable demand to always be more. They weren't looking for each other. They weren't ready for each other. But broken things sometimes recognize each other in the dark. And when they do- They don't always fix each other. But sometimes, they make surviving feel a little less lonely. --- Based on te 2024 season, all referencese to people are purely casual.Complete

Not really.❞ Aurora Prince is no stranger to the relentless world of Formula 1, but 2025 marks her first season behind the wheel for Porsche-a chance she's fought tooth and nail to earn. On the surface, Aurora is the perfect image of determination, but behind closed doors, she's still mourning Ezra McAllister, her boyfriend who's been left braindead after a horrific F2 crash. The world believes he's gone, but Aurora carries the weight of his memory, a fire in her heart that fuels every lap she takes. Enter Charles Leclerc: Ferrari's golden boy, haunted by his own failures and fueled by the fear of falling short yet again. Their rivalry is instant, a clash of wills that lights up the track and sets the media ablaze. Aurora's sharp edges meet Charles's unyielding pride, and neither is willing to back down. But beneath the tension, there's an unspoken understanding-two souls fighting battles no one else can see. As Aurora's grief threatens to consume her and Charles's pressure mounts to unbearable heights, they find an unlikely anchor in one another. Aurora's unwavering determination shows Charles the courage to face his own demons, while Charles reminds her that even in the deepest darkness, there's still a flicker of light. They don't see it at first-the way their broken pieces fit together-but love has a way of sneaking in, even when it feels impossible. They'll come to know each other fully, completely, and fiercely: Heart and soul, skin and bones.Complete
