HE BROKE HER HEART WITH ONE SENTENCE.
NOW HE HAS TO PROVE SHE’S THE ONLY FINISH LINE THAT MATTERS.
After one overheard conversation, Christin Porter realizes being in love isn’t crossing a finish line.
As one of the top software engineers in the country, Christin built her career system by system proving she belonged in a world that rarely handed women respect. But when she overhears her boyfriend, Formula One race car driver, Leo Hawthorne, dismiss her as someone too ordinary for his life, it’s a pain that cuts deep.
Especially because earlier that morning they had shared avowals of love.
Determined to leave the sting of his words behind, Christin throws herself into work when the company she works for lands a massive contract with Apex Orion Racing. There’s just one hitch. She’s been assigned to it. Plus, her new assignment will require her to work directly with Leo.
Before living in the fast lane, Leo spent his life outrunning love because he knows the only way he’ll earn it is by being perfect. Something he knows he isn’t. But beneath the fame and speed is a man carrying secrets far heavier than a trophy. The more time he spends with Christin, the more he realizes he made the biggest mistake of his life.
Because Christin is brilliant, fierce, and impossible to ignore.
Long days on the track turn into quiet conversations. Stolen glances become heated. And somewhere between telemetry reports, dangerous speeds, and racing around the world, Leo discovers there’s one thing he wants more than winning championships.
Her.
But when the ghosts of Leo’s past threaten to destroy everything, will Leo finally fight for the woman who captured his heart?
Or will his fears break them both apart?
