Ava Sterling never meant to make history, she just wanted to race. Stepping into a Formula One car as the first woman in modern racing puts her under a spotlight that burns hotter than any engine. Every move she makes is questioned, every mistake amplified, every triumph shadowed by doubt.
Oliver Chase knows what that pressure feels like. A world champion carrying scars the cameras never see, he’s learned how to keep his emotions locked behind the same precision that wins races. When Ava joins him at Crimson Falcon, his carefully built walls begin to crack.
What starts as rivalry turns into quiet trust, then something neither of them saw coming. Between the circuits, the chaos and the long nights in hotel rooms and airports, they find moments that feel almost like peace until old ghosts resurface and force them to confront what it really means to love someone when the world is watching.
Between the Laps is a story about speed and stillness, about finding home in the person who sees you when no one else does. It’s about love in a world that never stops moving and what it means to slow down long enough to feel it.
