Formula 1 + 1 = love

Mia Neal is a champion overthinker. Fortunately, she puts that energy to good use: a podcast about Formula One, her favourite sport in the world. There’s nothing about racing Mia doesn’t adore. The speed. The drivers. The fierce competition. The single-minded ambition. Ironic for a woman who’s changed careers more times than she can count.

Only now her salty takes on gorgeous Brit driver Xander Bishop have gone viral, and the podcast feels more and more like what she’s meant to do. Then Xander’s teammate invites her to the Miami Grand Prix to see F1 up close…but Xander’s not exactly delighted at all the shade she’s been throwing his way.

It should be all-out war. Instead, Mia and Xander are stunned by the sudden crackle of…something sexual arcing between them. It’s irresistible, unbelievably hot – all Mia’s warning flags are waving. Because this reckless attraction is coming all too fast…
