Nova Park is two people.
By day, she's captain of the cheer squad-the perfect bow, the perfect smile, the girl everyone thinks they know.
By night, she's Siren-an underground street racer with a cracked visor and nothing to lose. Racing pays her brother's hospital bills. Racing keeps her sane. Racing is the only thing she can control.
Until Jaxon Cole crashes back into her life. The golden-boy quarterback. Her ex-best friend turned sworn enemy. The boy who shouldn't know her secrets-but does. When he discovers Siren's mask belongs to Nova, he doesn't turn her in. He challenges her to race. And suddenly, the game isn't just about winning-it's about surviving.
Because Rock, the ruthless king of the docks, doesn't like losing his crown. And he'll use blackmail, sabotage, and blood to make sure Nova bends to him-or burns.
Now Nova has one choice:
Keep racing and risk everything.
Or walk away, and lose the only life that's ever felt like hers.
✨ A high-octane, enemies-to-lovers romance filled with broken loyalties, underground racing, and one girl forced to choose between the mask that hides her-and the boy who sees right through it.

What's the worst that can happen when you're forced to co-captain with your rival? Nova Shields can't stand Leo Hendrix. She hates his arrogance and obnoxiousness, that crooked smirk he does when he thinks he's right. Leo can't stand Nova's wits, the way she folds her arms and quirks her eyebrows. The way he can never read what's happening behind those green eyes. After a combined black operation was almost sent awry in '99 as a result of their constant disagreements, the pair vowed to never work alongside each other again. That is until Leo's partner suddenly loses his life in '02, leaving Commander North no choice but to bring in the only officer capable of filling the void: Nova. Their partnership ignites with animosity, a consequence of the lingering grudge. They can't seem to find that comradeship the Commander longed for. That is until they discover how once they work together without disagreeing, arguing and trying to wring each others necks, they can in fact form an unstoppable duo. A duo that transcends the operations they face; that forces them to confront the feelings they've been denying for so long. Feelings that only surface through the betrayals, bloodshed and near death experiences. Feelings that may be accepted, but only when it's too late. Then again, what's the worst that can happen? - UNEDITED Most impressive rankings: #1 in Rivals to Lovers 21/03/24 #1 in Special Ops 23/02/24 #14 in Young Adult 14/01/24 #8 in Enemies 14/01/24 18+ reader age.
