Paperback. Sofia is a brilliant mechanical engineering student with a rare gift: she can "hear" engines beyond what the telemetry shows.Lukas is an elite mechanic, a man with a shadowy past and a rugged charm, who lives between the roar of the pit lane and the silence of his own secrets.Monza is not a place for everyone. It's a world made of deafening noise, the smell of gasoline that fills your lungs, and a heat rising from the asphalt that leaves you breathless. Here, you're either fast or you're nobody.Sofia knows this all too well. She's the kind of girl who always stays in the background, wearing her dark jeans and carrying the aura of someone who doesn't want to be bothered. Many look at her simply because she's beautiful, but no one realizes she knows more than the veteran mechanics. Sofia has a gift: she only needs to listen to an exhaust note to understand exactly what's wrong with an engine. She has learned to keep quiet and protect herself behind a cold demeanor because in this environment, if you're a woman, you have to work twice as hard to earn respect.Then there's Lukas. He is the exact opposite: blonde, confident, a natural talent who seems to have the world at his feet. He works at the very heart of speed, and everyone admires him. He's used to calling the shots and never making a mistake-until his eyes meet Sofia's. That girl doesn't look at him the way others do; she challenges him, and with a single phrase, she manages to throw him off balance and, at the same time, save him.This is the story of two people who shouldn't have anything in common, but who discover they are cut from the same cloth. Between one race and the next, amidst social media posts and garage challenges, Lukas and Sofia will come to realize that the only thing harder to fix than a broken engine is a heart that's afraid to trust.Buckle up. The race has just begun. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Sofia is a brilliant mechanical engineering student with a rare gift: she can "hear" engines beyond what the telemetry shows.
Lukas is an elite mechanic, a man with a shadowy past and a rugged charm, who lives between the roar of the pit lane and the silence of his own secrets.
Monza is not a place for everyone. It’s a world made of deafening noise, the smell of gasoline that fills your lungs, and a heat rising from the asphalt that leaves you breathless. Here, you’re either fast or you’re nobody.
Sofia knows this all too well. She’s the kind of girl who always stays in the background, wearing her dark jeans and carrying the aura of someone who doesn't want to be bothered. Many look at her simply because she’s beautiful, but no one realizes she knows more than the veteran mechanics. Sofia has a gift: she only needs to listen to an exhaust note to understand exactly what’s wrong with an engine. She has learned to keep quiet and protect herself behind a cold demeanor because in this environment, if you're a woman, you have to work twice as hard to earn respect.
Then there’s Lukas. He is the exact opposite: blonde, confident, a natural talent who seems to have the world at his feet. He works at the very heart of speed, and everyone admires him.

That girl doesn’t look at him the way others do; she challenges him, and with a single phrase, she manages to throw him off balance and, at the same time, save him.
