No distractions.
No drama.
And absolutely no dating drivers.
Especially not Lando Norris.
He's funny, chaotic, impossible to ignore, and somehow always manages to find her. Whether its over coffee, late night paddock walks, or through endless teasing that slowly turns into something neither of them expected. As race weekend pass, friendships grow stronger, feelings become impossible to hide, and the entire paddock begins to notice what they refuse to admit.
But in Formula 1, nothing stays secret forever.
With cameras watching every move, millions of fans following every rumor, and one very overprotective brother standing in their way, Lando and Valentina quickly discover that the hardest race isn't on the track.
Its protecting the people you love.
A slow-burn Formula 1 romance filled with friendship, media, chaos, family, laughter, hartbreak, and finding home in the last place you expected.

To twenty-year-old Kim Taehyung, the youngest principal in the school's history, seven-year-old Jeon Jungkook's grand gestures were nothing more than adorable childhood innocence.

Years pass, and the little boy with candy wrappers in his pocket grows up. When Jungkook re-enters Taehyung's life, he is no longer the child hiding behind primary school desk props.

House Rules - Beau Maxwell
Sloan DiLaurentis didn't mean to find a home in Briar's hockey house. But somewhere between the midnight kitchen conversations, shared hoodies, and Beau Maxwell showing up at her door every night asking to cuddle, the house-and the people inside it-started feeling like hers. Beau was never supposed to be more than harmless flirting. Except now he knows her coffee order, sleeps better beside her, and looks at her like she's his favorite thing in the world. And Sloan's starting to realize she might feel the same way. Too bad keeping secrets in a house full of hockey players is almost impossible. Especially when everyone already knows they're in love. Everyone except Dean.
