In Your Slipstream (Apex Series III)

Sebastian King has everything a Formula Racing driver could want.

Two world championships. Millions of fans. A reputation as the sport's untouchable "Ice King."

The only thing he doesn't have...
Is someone who remembers the boy before the trophies.

Claire Morgan never planned on returning to Formula Racing.

Years ago, she and Sebastian were inseparable on the junior karting circuit-until one misunderstanding ended both their friendship and the promise they made to one day race at the highest level together.

Now they're reunited on opposite sides of the pit lane.

Sebastian drives for Apex Racing.
Claire joins Titan Racing as a young performance strategist, determined to prove she belongs after years away from Formula Racing. Despite her talent, she's constantly underestimated and compared to her family's legacy.

Meanwhile, Sebastian's teammates make a ridiculous bet.

The quiet strategist never smiles.

If Sebastian can make Claire laugh before the season ends, they'll buy him dinner for an entire year.

He accepts.

Not because he wants to win the bet...
But because he misses the girl who used to laugh at all his terrible jokes.

What begins with harmless pranks, sarcastic notes left in unexpected places around the paddock, and memories of childhood karting slowly becomes something neither of them expected.

Until Claire discovers the truth about the bet.

Old wounds reopen.

Trust shatters.

Now Sebastian must prove that his feelings are real-and that the promise they made as children still means something.

Some rivalries begin on the track.

Some love stories begin long before the first race.

They promised they'd reach Formula Racing together.

Neither expected the finish line to lead them back to each other.
