Across the Pit Wall

Elena Marquez has spent years earning her place in the highest level of professional racing. Now, as Apex Grand Prixs newest performance strategist, she finally has the career she fought for.

Theres just one problem.

Nico Laurent is back in her life.

Four years ago, Elena and Nico shared one intense summer before ambition pulled them in opposite directions. She left for an engineering fellowship in Europe. He took the opportunity that would eventually make him one of the most famous drivers in the world. Neither asked the other to stay.

Now Nico drives for Veloce Racing, Apexs biggest rival, and Elena is responsible for designing the strategies meant to beat him.

Keeping things professional should be simple.

It isnt.

One reckless night turns into stolen moments, secret messages, and a relationship neither of them is willing to call casual anymore. But when Elenas career is threatened by accusations that her connection to Nico has compromised her loyalty to Apex, loving him becomes more complicated than either of them expected.

With a championship on the line and their rival teams fighting for every position, Elena and Nico will have to prove that choosing each other doesnt mean giving up everything they worked for.

Because sometimes the person standing on the other side of the pit wall is the one worth racing toward.
