The cars are fast, the chemistry runs hot, and the whole team is worth falling for.
A British Formula 1 team fights its way towards the front of the grid while the people behind its comeback risk careers and loyalties for love. Professional trust, staged affection, and fierce rivalry become relationships that are much harder to keep private than anyone planned.
Vantari Racing follows a different couple in each of five connected F/M sports romances, with sharp banter, explicit open-door intimacy, and an earned happily ever after in every book.
Steamy, open-door, and best read in order for the full-season arc.
Trusting his performance coach could save Rhys Tennant’s racing career. Falling for her puts far more than his seat at risk.
Two years after a near-fatal crash, Rhys Tennant still hesitates in fast right-handers. With a reserve driver waiting and a sponsor demanding results, he may lose his seat unless he can trust himself again. Performance coach Simone Calderón has come to Vantari Racing determined to speak plainly after seeing the cost of staying quiet in her last job. Rhys resists her drills, but neither can ignore the connection growing between them.
As Rhys shares what the crash left behind, Simone confides the professional regret she still carries. Their attraction crosses a difficult boundary: she makes decisions about his training, and his comeback matters to the team. Keeping their relationship secret might protect their jobs, but it would ask them to hide the trust they have worked so hard to build.
Cold Start opens the Vantari Racing series with a grumpy-sunshine F/M Formula 1 romance, forced proximity, explicit open-door intimacy, and an earned happily ever after.

As they share race weekends and a hotel suite, Camille sees how hard he works away from the cameras, and Mateus comes to value the woman behind the plan.
Their private conversations begin to matter more than their public appearances. But Aeon forbids relationships between its brand managers and sponsored drivers, while Camille's recommendations could shape Vantari's future. Mateus has an offer from a rival team, too.
