I guess you can say I've been killing birds my whole life. There's just something about taking a life that's so... beautiful. It makes me feel the thin ice called life we forget to tip toe on and eventually fall through. I like to hold the bird as it dies. It usually screeches for a while, sometimes hours. But then it's gone. The bird usually stops moving before it's dead. But I don't put it down until the heart stops beating and blood, rather than air, fills it's lungs. Then I bury it. I say a prayer thanking God for the bird and cover it in the dirt - deep in my mom's tomato garden. "Life generates new life." They say. It makes me happy to see the bright red tomatoes growing in the garden. Each bird is in the vegetables, and it brings me a strange sense off peace knowing that each bird is now a delicious fruit for anyone to enjoy because of me. "Your mom has the best tomatoes in Louisiana!" They say. Mom is proud. She doesn't know that I'm the reason for her success. No one but my sister knows. I am the bird killer, but I am getting tired of birds.

Mia Ricciardo, the younger sister of f1 all-star Daniel Ricciardo, secured a surprise job managing the f1 YouTube channel, when her own videos began to get a fast following. She didn't tell her brother until last minute, and for good reason. Daniel worries for Mia's trusting heart in the hands of one of the boys, knowing that they could crush it with their bare fingers. But his warnings cannot keep her from doing her job, and ultimately learning more and more about each racer in each team. Charles Leclerc has the looks, he has the humour, he has the pick-up lines, but does he have exactly what it takes to win Mia over and keep her close for the rest of the season? Or will past relationships and old Vendettas come back to ruin his forever relationship. - 'Mia, I want you to come, of course I do, but i do not trust you around any of these boys and you're gonna be working with all of them.' Daniel sighed, pulling me into a hug and ruffling up my hair. 'Why don't we start with, oh my, I'm so proud of you!' I rolled my eyes. 'Oh come on, you know how proud I am of you, I knew you'd get it the second I heard about the opening. But now I'm worried about you.' He said, opening the passenger side door for me and walking around to his own. 'I'm 24 years old, Daniel, I'm not a child anymore.' I said, softly. 'You're still my baby sister, and f1 drivers are arseholes.' He muttered. 'I know, I'm related to one.' He nudged me, starting the engine and putting on his seatbelt, looking over at me silently, giving me the parent look he did all too often nowadays. 'You're there to do your job. Please, just do your job. I'd hate to go all mean on someone.' 'You can't be mean.' I chuckled. 'If anyone was to hurt you, you bet I would.' He responded. - I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE F1 DRIVERS OR NAMED PEOPLE IN THIS BOOK. ⚠️-may be some sexual scenes, sensitive subjects and bad language.
