A Racing Legend, a reckless playboy and a Love He’ll Burn the World For.

"He was supposed to be a one night stand, a distraction, a stranger in the night, just another name in my little black book. Instead, he became the man I broke all my rules for" 

Maverick Carter—Formula 1 World Champion, media target, and the man every brand wants on their front cover. How his chasing more than championships, he's chasing her.

Sage is the chaos he can't quit, his calm in storm, his addiction. She’s also the only person who’s ever truly seen the man beneath the helmet.

It was supposed to be secret. It was supposed to be slow. But secrets never stay buried—especially not when the past comes crashing back with a scandal that could ruin us both.

She thinks she has to run. He'll do whatever it takes to make her stay. Even if it means giving up everything his ever known—just to keep her.

From Melbourne to Monaco, this is love in the fast lane, reckless, addictive and impossible to forget. The Hot Mess Express is a glamorous, high-stakes romance of passion. It's speed, chaos and spice, perfect for fans of Drive to Survive and Lauren Asher, it’s a story about love in the spotlight, where every move is watched, every mistake magnified, and the greatest risk of all is giving your heart to the wrong person.
