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 distract from the whole stunt. 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.

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.

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'll come to know each other fully, completely, and fiercely: Heart and soul, skin and bones.Complete
the great war | carlos sainz
➶｡˚ 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

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?
