    Summary

    Shane Hollander disappears from the NHL at twenty with a career-ending “injury.”

    Four years later, he’s the new assistant coach for the Ottawa Centaurs when Ilya Rozanov signs with the team. His former rival. His secret hookup. The father of his daughter.
    Ilya doesn’t know Lily exists and Shane plans to keep it that way.

    But three-year-olds don’t keep secrets, and neither do pale blue eyes.

    Summary

    Charles Leclerc is prepared to pay the ultimate price for glory. He has always known there was a ticking clock over his head, but he never expected to meet the man holding it.

    In the moments between life and death, he finds himself drawn to a figure who’s more than just a shadow in the background of his life — he’s the one who’s been watching, waiting.

    Max isn’t supposed to feel anything for the souls he guides, but Charles isn’t like the others.

    As the final race ends and the clock runs out, the lines between fate, love, and destiny blur. Some stories are meant to end, but not all goodbyes are easy.

    Summary

    Charles doesn’t believe in fate. He doesn’t believe in grand plans or cosmic alignments, in serendipity or the kind of chance that feels like destiny. But that was before the rain in Monaco, before the flickering lamplight.
    Before Max.
    Their first meeting was nothing.
    But nothing became something, and something became everything. A crowded bookshop, a sunlit pier, the electric haze of a nightclub—each moment pulling them closer.
    Max is ordinary in a way that shouldn’t stand out, and yet Charles can’t look away. There’s something about him—his quiet gravity, his half-smiles, the way he fits into every place he shouldn’t. Something that feels inevitable, predestined.
    This isn’t a love story about falling. This is a story about what happens when the fall was always going to happen, when every step you take only leads you back to the same person, over and over.
    Or: Charles doesn’t believe in destiny, but destiny doesn’t need him to.

    Summary

    It was wrong, and he knew that. He was betraying the woman he had promised to love and cherish. But in this moment, with Max’s body pressed so intimately against his own, the guilt and shame that should have consumed him seemed to fade away, replaced by an overwhelming need that left him trembling.

     

    OR: Charles knows something is missing. When he unexpectedly finds it in someone unlikely, he caves. But only when he faces the consequences, he begins to realize where his heart truly belongs.

    Summary

    Charles finds Max mildly annoying, mostly because he finds him very handsome and because he's irritatingly good at driving, Max only wants to help Charles win.

    It makes Charles feel like the world is crumbling and bursting and burning and at the end of it only Max Verstappen will be left holding all the cards.

    “Good race,” says Max, patting him on the shoulder and then being pulled off by his PR team to do some interviews.

    “Good race,” Charles says after him, probably too quiet for Max to hear.
