Formula One meets The Hating Game in this rivals-to-lovers romance between a legacy driver and F1's first woman driver

Diana Zahrani is Formula One's first female racing driver this century. All the other drivers are told to race carefully around her, and leave her to her real job: being a pretty face and good advertising for a hypermasculine sport. But Diana's not worked this hard her whole life just to be a mascot.

World Championship favourite Miguel de la Fuente is not taking any rookie seriously, let alone a woman. With his first championship win looming, all he has to do is stay focused - and make sure Diana stays out of his way.

But motorsports is a small world, and as Diana and Miguel race their way through the season, they're forced to face each other again and again. When sparks fly, Miguel and Diana must decide for the sake of their teams where their priorities lie: on track, with the championship, or offtrack, with each other...

Shantal knows one thing in life: that success means everything. So when she gets the call to move from London to Brazil, to test out her racing simulator on high performance Formula One racing drivers, she leaves her life behind, and goes. Because she'll do anything to succeed.

Darien knows one thing in life: passion is everything. It's his passion for driving that has led him to the heights of motorsport, a coveted seat as a Formula One driver. When his team insists he moves to Brazil to trial a new racing simulator and racetrack, he goes. Because the one thing he is more passionate about than cars, is Brazil, his home.

When Shantal and Darien meet, sparks aren't just flying from the gearbox. But in the high stakes world of Formula One, there's no room for error, and there's definitely no room for romance on the racetrack...

Roma Kulkarni is having the time of her life. She's an extremely successful, rich, famous global concierge doctor with a brand of her own and a monopoly on medicine. However, she's got an ego the size of an overinflated SUV tire. And when patients begin to complain about Roma's ego and low quality of care, there's only one thing left to do. Exile her. To an emergency department. In Las Vegas. At night. Khalil Karam is passing the vibe check. That is, until Roma Kulkarni comes along and breaks the wonderful, normal, awesome ER's team in half. Roma only believes in the sickcare system, but he wants the healthcare system. He's assigned to teach her what it means to be a doctor. Khalil hates Roma, but he'll do anything to show this headstrong Newark-born A-lister what his ER means to him. So Roma has an exile to survive. Six months in the middle of the desert. And no penthouse But whatever. It's not like she's actually going to change her ways, no matter what anyone tells her, no matter what she encounters. Like, not at all. Right? But the emergency room is a miraculous place. Even when the outlook seems bleak, hope prevails. As for all being fair? The chances of that are very, very slim.

Miami is the Magic City, the home of paradise, beaches, and Florida's iconic Station 11, the state's foremost firefighting unit. However, Station 11 has gone from iconic to a disaster. Not all disasters are made equal, of course, and this one just happens to be a hot mess. No pun. Captain Antonio Reyes is supposed to be excelling. Unfortunately, he's lost. He has no idea what to do with a company that hates him to the point of complete ignorance. His firefighters can't even hold a hose without getting into an argument. On top of that, he's playing boss to his sour older brother, who's upset from a rivalry that never quite healed and secrets that were never told. Firefighter Camile Soledad Perez is the personification of her name. She likes silence and a place where she can work without question. She's also loudmouthed and unconventionally daring. But Miami Fire-Rescue isn't the station for that. In fact, it's the opposite, with a captain who seems to be closing in on their freedoms and running the company almost robotically. It's too late to go back, though: she has come all the way from Chicago with her beloved aunt and has no intention of returning. Through the journey of what is possibly the world's worst firefighting company (an experience full of insane emergencies, team excursions gone morbidly wrong, past wrongdoings rearing their ugly heads, and a dash of ill-begot rule-breaking), this wreck of a fire station will grow in more ways than one. Most importantly, they will learn that nothing comes easily. Especially respect.Book One of the Fire Family Series

Apparently, Louisiana did not sit well with the former Miami 11, because they now find themselves on the road, jobless, and desperate for a fire station that will actually harbor them. Captain Antonio Reyes suggests a move to El Paso, Texas, his fabled home turf. But he and his team find the station derelict and crumbling. A devastating accident left the city's trust in the El Paso Sweet 16 at zero, and the chief, his mentor and fire dad, needs a Hail Mary: the old 11 team. Firefighter Camile Soledad Perez does not really want to be said Hail Mary. She isn't a big fan of Texas, and she will be hit with great surprises that only reinforce that. However, she'll also learn to let down her guard and find forgiveness in the strangest of places. Heartbreak, tragedy, memories, and failure will hit the new El Paso Sweet 16 as they try to revive a station that has lost all hope from its people. Although adversity is a heavily armed foe, this team will stop at nothing to gain their city's trust once and for all.
