One dead father. One stolen legacy. Four rivals who stand in her way.

Ava Sterling shouldn't exist. To the world, she's a ghost-the daughter of a disgraced racing legend whose name was dragged through the mud after a fatal crash. To her rivals, she's "Alex," a tight-lipped rookie prodigy hiding behind a helmet and a secret identity.

In the high-stakes, testosterone-fueled world of Formula 1, Ava has one goal: infiltrate the empire that destroyed her father and take back the crown that belongs to her. But the path to the podium is guarded by the Big Five-four elite drivers who are as dangerous on the track as they are in the dark.

Dante Moretti: The cold, possessive heir to the throne her father lost. He wants to own the track-and he's starting to want to own her. Phoenix Cross: The adrenaline-addicted wild card. He thrives on chaos and is determined to strip away "Alex's" mask, inch by agonizing inch. Jax Thornton: The golden boy with a pristine image and a hidden hunger for the forbidden. He was supposed to be her ally, but he's becoming her greatest distraction. Marcus Vane: The brilliant, calculating engineer who sees through her secrets and wants to map every curve of her body the way he maps a circuit.

When the lines between rivalry and desire begin to blur, Ava finds herself caught in a high-speed collision of hearts. One wrong move will expose her secret and end her career. But as the "Pirate Team" forms and the truth about her father's death begins to surface, Ava realizes she doesn't just want to win.

She wants to burn the whole establishment down.

In a world where speed is everything and trust is a death wish, Ava Sterling is about to learn that the only thing more dangerous than the redline is falling for the men she's meant to defeat.
