    Summary

    Julia is a successful photographer, but her first season shooting Formula 1 is like nothing she’s ever done.

    Max is a two-time world champion, on a winning team, with a beautiful girlfriend and a world built around him. He also happens to hate media.

    Neither of them expected the other to matter.

    A very slow burn. Set during the 2023 F1 season.

    I mean SLOW. You've been warned. Look at the word count.

    Summary

    Kayla Evans doesn’t do chaos. As Red Bull Racing’s sharpest legal mind and the architect behind nearly every driver contract, she built her career on ironclad boundaries and bulletproof professionalism. But when Max Verstappen — fast, relentless, and infuriatingly observant — starts crossing every line she’s drawn, Kayla’s tidy world begins to unravel.

    It starts with a look. A smirk. A tension neither of them name. But after one reckless night behind a locked conference room door, the rules are no longer hypothetical — they’re broken.

    Now, with the season heating up and the spotlight sharper than ever, Kayla must decide: keep pretending nothing happened, or risk everything — her job, her reputation, and maybe even her heart — for the one man who refuses to play by the book.

    Because with Max Verstappen, it was never just business.

    Summary

    Max leans over her, rubbing his mouth on her shoulder, sweetly. And it seems almost a miracle to have him this close, clinging to her body every inch, inside and out.

    "Look at me," he begs her, pulling his head up so that he is looking directly into her eyes. The swift movement seems to make him dizzy as he tightens his grip on her hips. The light from the street lamps paints soft shadows on his face, gives him new hues. "I hate it when you don't look at me."

    And I hate it when you do, she tells herself, holding her breath. Because when you do it I am no longer mine.

     

    Or: Anita is a troubled girl cutting ties with her family and Max is a racing driver having a hard time believing he deserves to be loved.

    Summary

    Max Verstappen to Mercedes? The paddock is buzzing. The media’s in meltdown.

    Dr. Anastasia “Ana” Wolff, Mercedes’ notoriously brilliant, emotionally unavailable lead systems engineer and Toto Wolff’s eldest daughter, is not handling it well. Because Max isn’t just a potential signing, he’s the man she’s been sleeping with in secret for nearly a decade.

    And if the rumours are true, and Max Verstappen really is joining Mercedes, then Ana’s carefully compartmentalised world is about to explode.
