Getting sent away by your parents sucks. Getting sent away by your parents to live in Italy with your grandma is... less sucky. Especially when your days consist of the beach, ice cream, and a cute boy who is adamant on making this summer count. But two months isn't a lifetime, and reality is chasing both of the teens down.

Tamara "Mara" Saint-Belucci never expected to become a junior race engineer at seventeen. In a world where experience is everything, she's forced to prove herself every day, pushing through doubt, sleepless nights, and the constant pressure to be perfect. She doesn't have time for friendships-only data, strategy, and making sure her driver has the best car possible. Andrea Kimi Antonelli is a rising star in F2, a driver destined for greatness. Calm under pressure, fast on track, and annoyingly optimistic, he's the complete opposite of his grumpy, no-nonsense engineer. But from the moment they start working together, something clicks. They bicker. They challenge each other. They push each other to be better. And somehow, despite everything, they become inseparable. As they navigate the highs and lows of racing, the unshakable bond they built on the track starts to shift into something neither of them expected. Because somewhere between the late-night data reviews, the stolen moments in the garage, and the unwavering trust that makes them unstoppable as a team, they realize that maybe-just maybe-this was never just about racing. Maybe, all along, it was about them.

🏁 Before Kimi Antonelli became a rising racing star, he was just a fast, annoying high school kid who never showed up to class-and Andrea "Andy" Bellini was the overachieving student council VP who couldn't stand him. Now she's his race engineer. He still skips homework. She still yells at him. And somehow, they still have to work together. They share a name, a headset, and zero patience for each other... but maybe they make a good team after all. She was the brains. He was the chaos. Together? One hell of a headache.
