Chasing Apex

🏎️ Title: Chasing Apex
📍 Genre: Romance • Drama • Racing • Dual POV

Blurb:
A girl from South Africa chasing her engineering dreams in Milan never expected to end up under the hood of one of GGT's most elite racing teams - Thornhill Racing.

By day, Nyla's a mechanical engineering student and team mechanic. By night, she's tearing through the streets, proving that precision and control beat brute strength any day.

Then there's Adrian - Monza Racing's star driver, dangerously good on and off the track, fighting his own demons beneath the spotlight.

When their worlds collide, every race becomes more than a competition - it's survival, ambition, and the kind of tension that burns slow but deep.

"I pause, looking down for a second before my eyes lift to the paddock.

Adrian's standing off to the side, helmet in hand, those piercing blue eyes locked on me. He gives a small grin and a thumbs-up, like he's reminding me to just breathe.

I exhale slowly and smile. "If the guys can hit the apex," I say, looking back at the reporter, "women can take it smoother and still come out faster. It's not about muscle, it's about control."

The interviewer's eyebrows rise slightly, impressed. The cameraman grins. A few people in the back even clap softly.

I chuckle under my breath. "And, well... women can do anything men can. Maybe better. But let's not get political," I add, smirking."

***
High stakes. Fierce hearts. Long nights.
And a love story that refuses to come easy.
