Podium Perfect: A Formula 1 Fake Dating Romance
Lexi Richards
An F1 mogul's daughter and a guarded race driver fake-date for the press — but the sparks feel very real.
Description
Fast cars, fake dates, and way too many feelings, Avery Silver knows two things for sure: she's not just a trust fund baby, and she is definitely not falling for a race car driver. The daughter of an F1 mogul and a high-society hurricane mother, Avery is determined to prove she got her new job as the director of the Silver Racing Foundation for more than her last name. Her plan? To transform the foundation's boring end-of-year gala into the event of the season - and finally fund the youth sports programs and scholarships she cares about. Too bad her family is more interested in who her date for the gala is than in making an actual difference. Enter Teddy Ross, Silver Racing's ridiculously handsome new driver with a smile built for magazine covers and a personality built like a brick wall. He's focused on winning races and has zero time for romance. But when a nosy reporter starts sniffing around his family's past, Avery and Teddy agree to fake date to distract the press and further their careers. From gelato in Milan to stolen moments in Amsterdam, their Insta-worthy dates start to feel suspiciously real. And when fake kisses turn into real sparks, Avery begins to wonder if there's more to Teddy than his laptimes. When secrets surface and their hearts hit the brakes, Avery has to decide if love is worth risking it all for a shot at her own perfect ending.
