Love in the Fast Lane: A Sweet Instalove Formula One RomCom Short Read

When Formula One’s notorious bad boy arrives early for a charity gala in Blue Ridge, Virginia, the last person Dominic Hayes expects to challenge his carefully crafted image is Missy Maughan, the no-nonsense community relations manager who color-codes her entire life.

Missy:

As the Blue Ridge Buffaloes’ community relations manager, I’m used to handling intense situations and difficult athletes—but Dominic Hayes, Formula One’s infamous bad boy, is in a league of his own. When he shows up two days early for our charity gala, complaining about everything from his hotel room to the lack of natural light, I know I’m in trouble.

But when a snowstorm traps us together, I discover there’s more to Dom than his reputation suggests. Between teaching him to make proper coffee and destroying him in snowball fights, I find myself falling for the man behind the headlines.

As we navigate vendor fairs, charity galas, and stolen kisses, Dom makes me question everything I thought I knew about love and control. But with his life on the racing circuit and mine firmly planted in Blue Ridge, I have to decide if this whirlwind romance is worth risking my carefully organized heart.

Because in the fast lane of love, there are no color-coded plans—only the hope that sometimes the best things in life are deliciously, wonderfully…meant to be.

Trigger warnings: This short read romance is full of hot kissing, British accents, witty banter, enemies sharing a bed, racing hearts (and cars!), and body positivity from a plus-sized heroine. Read at your own pleasure!
