Revolution Racing are enjoying their best season yet. But Lucie Carolan can't help but feel there's still something missing.

Brett Anderson is Revolution Racing's all-star driver.

The only thing that matters more to Brett than winning championships? His best friend, and Revolution Racing's Social Media Manager, Lucie Carolan.

Together, Lucie and Brett have spent 10 years travelling the world with their team, partying like VIPs and, for the sake of their friendship, denying the chemistry that sizzles between them.

So when Brett is forced to take a step back from racing, Lucie knows there's nowhere else in the world she should be than by his side.

As Brett's recovery takes them from racetracks to Lucie's family home in Tuscany, will slowing the pace of their lives finally allow them to give in to their feelings or each other, or will taking a foot off the gas of their glamorous lives cause them to crash and burn?

Tropes/themes:

1. Friends-to-lovers

About the Author

Emilee is a self-proclaimed Somerset Cowgirl, born and raised in a seaside town in Somerset, England, where she’s one of few people wearing cowboy boots to the pub.

With her dad, who spent years working in Formula 1 while Emilee was growing up, she began attending World Endurance Championship races. Her love for motorsport grew rapidly, and Spa Francorchamps started to feel like home. When she isn’t writing, she is holed up in local seaside restaurants (Greek food is her fave), hanging out with her dog, Fudge, or rewatching Grey’s Anatomy for the millionth time.
