About The Book
For the first printing only! This book features stenciled sprayed edges while the special edition supply lasts.
A college student experiences life in the fast lane in a whirlwind fake dating scheme with a notorious Formula 1 driver in this swoony crossover romance perfect for fans of Chloe Walsh and Lauren Asher.
He’s a future international racing champion, but she’s making it hard to stay on track...
Maisie Evans is a dedicated university student who still secretly dreams of the glittering sports career she abandoned. Giovanni Bauer is the resident bad boy of Formula 1 racing and needs to turn his reputation around fast—or risk losing his place on the team.
When Gio and Maisie’s worlds collide, the answer to their problems seems obvious: a fake relationship. She gets to travel and brush shoulders with sports royalty, and he gets to fix his public image. But as sparks fly—on and off the track—will their “relationship” make it across the finish line, or will the public’s attention cause them to crash and burn?

Excerpt
Chapter One
Three months into the Formula 1 season and it seems team principal Mark Haddon is losing patience with his star signing, twenty-one-year-old F2 sensation Giovanni Bauer. Son of three-time world champion Helmut Bauer and Palme d’Or-winning actress Morena Mancini, Gio might be finishing in the points most races, but his wild behavior off the grid is raising a lot of eyebrows, not least among the team’s sponsors. With his teammate, thirty-nine-year-old driver Luc Farron, ahead in the points, many pundits think it’s only a matter of time before bad boy Gio finds himself looking for a new seat.
A £10 million mistake or can F1’s youngest driver still prove he’s got what it takes?
Single Seat News, June 7
