    Summary

    “Y-Yeah, totally,” Shane replied. “D-Do you uh– do you know who that kid with Rozanov is?”

    Scott laughed a little, tilting his head in confusion.

    “Probably Rozanov’s kid,” he informed Shane, causing his brain to stall completely.

    “You didn’t hear?” Scott asked, and Shane blinked, trying to reboot his mind from the crash that Scott had just caused. “It’s why he took time off,” Hunter informed him. “Found out he had a kid, I guess. Or something like that, I didn’t really get the details.”

    Of all the reasons he’d thought of for Ilya disappearing for the past month, this had never crossed his mind. A million different thoughts raced through Shane’s mind. How the hell was Ilya a dad, and why hadn’t he told Shane and how the fuck did Scott Hunter of all people find out before him and—

    And what the fuck was Shane supposed to do now?

    After the tuna melt situation, Ilya suddenly disappears from hockey for six weeks, claiming some sort of family emergency. Shane showed up to the All-Star game ready to try and fix things, only to be shocked to find a little girl at Ilya's side with remarkably familiar blue eyes.

    Summary

    Rose convinces Shane to go clubbing with her again. Someone spikes their drinks. Ilya is not having it.

    -

    It was supposed to be mindless fun. If Rose didn’t take Shane out for his birthday, he would spend the whole weekend moping that his secret boyfriend was playing against Dallas instead of engaging in whatever illicit activities the two got up to in their spare time. Rose did not account for the sadistic fucker of the week deciding they would make ideal targets. Of course, with Shane high out of his mind and her own judgement hanging on by a thread, the only one she can think to call is Ilya.

    Summary

    When a crash at Imola throws rookie Amara Velasquez into the deep end of Formula Renault 2.0 Alps, she doesn’t just collide with gravel and smoke—she collides with Charles Leclerc. Fast, unreadable, and already destined for more, he becomes both rival and constant presence. What starts as rivalry turns into something more complicated, something unfinished. The season is only the beginning of a fracture that will follow them for years.

    Or

    In which Charles Leclerc becomes the constant she can’t escape, Max Verstappen becomes the variable she never planned for, and Amara Velasquez keeps choosing speed over safety—in every sense of the word.

    Summary

    In the high-pressure world of Formula 1, Red Bull is falling apart. Half the team has quit, morale is shattered, and reigning champion Max Verstappen is losing more than races—he’s losing himself. Cold, volatile, and exhausted, Max has no patience for anyone… least of all a new Personal Assistant.

    Enter Emilia “Emmy” Jones, a redhead who radiates sunshine wherever she goes. She’s everything Max despises—optimistic, talkative, and insufferably cheerful. To Max, she’s a storm he didn’t see coming, and no amount of biting sarcasm or coldness can drive her away. Emmy is determined to do her job, even if it means braving the tempest that is Max Verstappen.

    But beneath her bright smiles and playful energy, she’s hiding her own storm. She’s not the unshakable beam of positivity she seems—she’s a force of nature battling scars of her own. And while Max can’t stand her constant happiness at first, it doesn’t take long for him to see that Emmy isn’t just sunshine.

    She’s a hurricane—wild, fierce, and unpredictable. And she might just be what Red Bull, and Max, need to survive. Because sometimes, it’s the storms that reshape everything.
