  Summary

  After a rough start to the Formula One season, Grian finally finds his rhythm. He is winning races, falling in love, and navigating the thrill of having a loving boyfriend by his side. Everything seems to be falling into place as he races toward the World Driver’s Championship, but each triumph comes at a cost. His victories seem to strain every other relationship around him. Success has never felt so sweet, yet so complicated.
