Checkered Hearts

Things heat up both on and off the track in this enemies-to-lovers romance set in the high-octane world of Formula One racing.

Rocco Vittori is desperate for a win. With nearly as many pileups on the track as in his personal life, his formerly illustrious F1 career is in a total spinout. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the lead driver on the new Maverick racing team could be the answer to all his problems. He's willing to go full throttle every second of the day to prove he deserves it more than anyone. Unfortunately, someone else on the team has her sights set on the same job, and she's determined to drive Rocco crazy.

After leveling up from Formula Three, Nico Angelini knows she's got just one shot to show the world she's as qualified as any man on the circuit. Being the only female driver in the highest class of international racing puts a target on her back, and the fact that she'll not only be racing against but forced into comradery with her one-time online nemesis raises the stakes. An ongoing rivalry with a sexy, arrogant teammate is the sort of distraction she can't afford.

Fueled by competition and an attraction that grows stronger with every lap, Rocco and Nico are off to a bumpy start. If they can't get a grip on their emotions, they're both going to crash and burn this season. But finding common ground could cause a different sort of spark to ignite, and their romance might prove too hot to handle . . .
