Some fires never die. They just wait to be reignited.

Liora Moreira swore she'd never set foot near a racetrack again. After losing her mother in a tragic motorsport accident as a child, she left that world behind and locked the devastating memories away. Now, she navigates life with a camera, sarcasm, and the protective, chaotic bubble of her best friend, F1 driver Lando Norris.

But when Lando finally convinces her to join him for one weekend on the grid, everything changes.

Liora is immediately thrown into the high-speed chaos of the paddock-and straight into the orbit of Ferrari's golden boy, Charles Leclerc. He's sharp-tongued, impossible to ignore, and seems determined to unravel her carefully constructed defenses. Their connection is instant, electric... and the exact opposite of friendly.

Their rivalry is a blazing, public distraction fueled by private glances and unspoken challenge. Yet, the dangerous tension between them is shattered when a devastating truth emerges.

Now, their rivalry transforms into a secret, desperate bond. Liora must confront the sport that stole everything from her, while Charles must risk his perfect image-and his closest friendships-to protect the fragile, necessary woman who sees the man beneath the legend.

Will they let grief continue to define their lives, or will they discover a bond powerful enough to rewrite everything they thought they knew about love, destiny, and the kind of fire that never truly dies?
