Avoidant attachment
a relational style characterized by discomfort with intimacy, emotional distance, and a strong emphasis on self-reliance, typically developed from early experiences of caregivers being emotionally unavailable or dismissive.
Ella Murphy has always been good at keeping her heart guarded. A witty, sharp-minded history lover with a small but loyal social media following, she's used to living in the fast lane of other people's lives-especially as the best friend of Formula 1 driver Logan Sargeant. But when romance unexpectedly steers into her path, Ella faces a choice she's never been good at making: open herself up to the risk of real love, or protect herself by keeping things light and casual with someone who asks for nothing more. Caught between the thrill of possibility and the safety of detachment, Ella must decide whether she's brave enough to let her heart race-or keep it in safe in the pit lane.
