Lights Out

What do you do when the man you can't have is the only one who sees you?

DAMIEN
I've won in Monaco three times.
I've driven through rain, mechanical failures, and a championship that almost broke me at twenty-one. I know how to control a car at two hundred miles an hour. I know how to control a room, a press conference, a season, and women.
I did not know how to control what happened the moment Imara Baptiste opened her mouth in a Barcelona hotel and said exactly the wrong thing at exactly the right time.
She works for her father. I drive for the competition. There are a hundred reasons this doesn't happen.
I stopped counting them somewhere over the Atlantic.
Now I'm ten races from a world title I've spent seven years chasing - and the one person who could cost me everything is the same person I can't stop thinking about.
I've never wanted something I wasn't supposed to have.
Until her.


IMARA
I know what people think when they see me in this paddock.
Conrad Baptiste's daughter. Got the job because of the name on the door. A diversity hire in a sport that doesn't like to change.
I've been proving them wrong since February. Every press conference. Every media briefing. Every time I walk into a room and feel the weight of what I have to be.
I don't have room for mistakes.
Damien Verlaine is the kind of mistake that ends careers.
He's the rival team's star driver. He's brilliant and focused and completely off-limits - and he looks at me like he already knows every version of me I've been trying to hide.
Then I found the file.
My father's office. Seven years ago. A deal that buried a twenty-one-year-old driver's future before it started.
That driver was Damien.
And I've been falling for him race by race while carrying the secret that could destroy him.


He's chasing a championship. I'm carrying the truth that could take it away.

From the lights of Monaco to the rain of São Paulo, LIGHTS OUT is a forbidden, scorching enemies-to-lovers romance about the cost of loyalty, the price of truth, and the one thing faster than an F1 car - falling for the wrong person.
