Checkered Hearts F1 Spicy Romance
He’s the golden boy of Formula 1. She’s the first woman on the grid in decades. Together, they’re explosive.
When a crash sidelines Luca Santori and leaves his confidence in pieces, the last person he should want is Zara Hassan—his fiercest rival, his greatest distraction, the woman who drives him insane on and off the track. But rivalry has a way of burning into something hotter.
As Zara secretly helps him fight his way back to racing form, the lines blur—between enemies and lovers, between victory and surrender. One wrong move, one leaked secret, and their careers could go up in flames. Cameras catch everything. Reputations are fragile.
And the only thing more dangerous than losing his crown… is falling for the woman who could take it.

He thought he could handle anything—until tragedy left him raising his nephew alone.
James Kim, Ferrari's untouchable star, built his reputation on ice-cold control. Calm in the cockpit. Frozen outside it. But when his sister dies and he becomes guardian to six-year-old Leo, everything shatters. His nephew won't speak. James can't cope. And the nannies keep quitting.
Enter Maria Bello—the sports psychologist hired to help Leo heal. She's warmth to James's winter, the one person who sees past his armor. But as she brings his silent nephew back to life, the lines between professional and personal blur dangerously.
Maria knows falling for a client is career suicide. James knows he can't afford to feel—not when he's barely holding together. But Leo needs them both. And sometimes the most broken families are the ones we choose.
She's sunshine to his shadows. He's learning that control means nothing without connection. Together, they might just save each other.
Tropes: Grumpy/Sunshine • Single Dad • Forbidden Romance (therapist/client) • Found Family • Fast-Burn
An F1 racing romance set in the glamorous world of Formula 1—perfect for fans of grumpy sunshine banter, found family, and heroes who fall hard and fast.
He's F1's bad boy. She's the journalist sent to destroy him.
After a Miami arrest threatens his Red Bull seat, Kai Nakamura needs redemption fast. Emilia Santos needs the career-making story her editor demands. Their solution? Fake a relationship—him for good PR, her for access to the real disaster.
Three months. One championship fight. Zero feelings.
Except Kai's arrogance hides scars from a mentor's death. Emilia's ambition masks her own desperate need to prove herself. And somewhere between Monaco yacht parties and garage confessions, the performance becomes real.
Now she's not writing his downfall—she's living his resurrection. And he's not chasing podiums—he's chasing her.
The problem? Her editor still wants blood. And falling in love wasn't part of the deal.

He needed a girlfriend for Christmas. I needed him to keep his mouth shut.
Rafael Silva—cocky rookie, Brazilian heartthrob, and the FIA’s resident bad boy—just told the world I’m his girlfriend.
Newsflash: I’m not. I’m his PR handler. The one who keeps his career from going up in flames every time he smirks at a camera.
Now I’m stuck fake-dating him at the league’s Christmas gala, smiling for the flashing lights while he slides his hand a little too low on my back. One mistletoe kiss was supposed to be staged. But it felt real. Way too real.
And when a snowstorm traps me in Rafa’s Monaco penthouse, there’s no hiding from the heat between us. He’s temptation in a tux, chaos wrapped in tattoos, and the last man I should fall for.
Because if I give in? I don’t just lose my job. I lose my heart.
A spicy fake-dating holiday romance set in the glamorous world of Formula 1—perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers banter, holiday sparkle, and heroes who fall hard and fast.
