In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, where precision is everything and emotions are liabilities, Oceana-a brilliant yet reserved Ferrari race engineer-keeps her head down and her past guarded. But when seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton joins the team, the cool distance she's maintained begins to blur.
Their connection is subtle-glances across the garage, private jokes shared during pit stops, and quiet conversations on long flights. But beneath the surface of tire strategies and engine data simmers something more. Something neither of them dares name.
As secrets unfold and trust is tested under the intense pressure of race weekends, Oceana finds herself caught in a slow-burning dance with a man used to winning. But in this race, hearts are on the line-and there's no guarantee of a podium finish.
Cool Down is a captivating slow-burn romance that blends high-speed adrenaline with tender moments of vulnerability, set against the glittering, gritty backdrop of international racing.

What If... But Make It Formula 1
My brain? Constantly spinning faster than a race car. Ideas at 200 mph. Characters showing up uninvited. Plot twists forming in traffic. I've always had a mind that wanders - into garages, onto podiums, behind the scenes of moments that never happened... until now. This book is a collection of all the stories that wouldn't leave me alone. Some are funny. Some are soft. Some are ridiculous. Some feel way too real. But they all came from the same place - my imagination. And now they live here. I made this for me. But if you're reading this... maybe it's for you, too.

Oscar is focused on one thing...becoming a better driver. Love isn't even on his radar, while he's left third wheeling his way through the paddock, until a spilled iced coffee and an awkward encounter with Juliette Wolff changes everything. Juliette knows better than to get involved with a driver, especially one racing for a rival team. But Oscar is nothing like the rest. He's sweet, a little awkward, and surprisingly easy to talk to. What starts as teasing and late night texts slowly turns into something neither of them were ready for. But with team politics and media pressure, falling for each other might be the most reckless move of all... ✨ Same timeline/universe [set during/after] Fo(u)r The Better ✨Complete
love, rewritten
--- Lando Norris wakes up from a year-long coma with no memory of the love story that changed his life. He remembers Oscar Piastri as a rival. A teammate. Nothing more. Not the secret glances. Not the whispered I love yous. Not the marriage. Not the night he promised forever. Now, Oscar stands by his side-husband, stranger, and the man Lando unknowingly gave his whole heart to. But how do you fight for someone who doesn't remember loving you? How do you make someone fall in love with you again, when every memory of "us" is gone? In a story filled with heartbreak, healing, and second chances, The Second First Time takes you through the slow burn of re-falling in love, the weight of forgotten vows, and the aching beauty of choosing each other-even when the past is lost. Because sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind forgets. ---Complete
Adrenaline Rush
Book 1 of the Full Throttle Series He fell first, but she fell harder. Aurora Fane has always thrived on the thrill of the stage, dancing under the spotlight, captivating millions on social media, and living a life where every move is choreographed to perfection. But when her best friend Alexandra Saint Mleux, invites her to a Grand Prix weekend to support Alexandra's boyfriend, Chares Leclerc, and his Ferrari teammate, Carlos Sainz, Aurora finds herself in an entirely different world, one fueled by speed, competition, and adrenaline unlike anything she's ever known. What she doesn't realize is that Alexandra and Charles have an ulterior motive. They've devised a plan to set her up with none other than Oscar Piastri, the rising star of McLaren. Initially skeptical of their matchmaking attempts, Aurora is caught off guard when she finally meets Oscar. Reserved yet effortlessly charming, he's a stark contrast to the fast-paced, high-energy world she's used to, but there's something about him that intrigues her. As the Grand Prix weekend unfolds, Aurora is swept into the chaos of the paddock, forming unexpected friendships, getting a firsthand taste of the F1 lifestyle, and sharing moments with Oscar that blur the lines between a casual setup and something real. Between pre-race jitters, post-race celebrations, and stolen moments in the midst of the high-speed world, Aurora starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, she's found a new kind of adrenaline rush, one that has nothing to do with dance and everything to do with a certain McLaren driver. But with their lives moving at different speeds and their careers demanding everything from them, can a love story born in the fast lane truly go the distance? Started: April 11, 2025 Finished: ---
