Love in the fast lane.

'He was supposed to be a one-night stand. A distraction. A stranger. Just another name I’d never think about again. Instead, he became the man I broke every rule for.'

Maverick Carter is a Formula 1 world champion—reckless, magnetic, and permanently followed by cameras. A racing legend, a certified playboy, and the face every brand wants on their cover. He’s spent his life chasing podiums and glory… until he starts chasing me.

Sage was never part of the plan. She’s the chaos he can’t quit, the calm in his storm, the one person who sees the man beneath the helmet. With her, the noise fades. The pressure lifts. And for the first time, winning doesn’t feel like everything.

She thinks running is the only way out.
He’ll burn down the world to make her stay.

From Melbourne to Monaco, this is love at full throttle—reckless, addictive, and impossible to forget.

The Hot Mess Express is a glamorous, high-stakes romance packed with passion, tension, and heat. Perfect for fans of Drive to Survive and Lauren Asher, it’s a story about loving in the spotlight—where every move is watched, every mistake is magnified, and the greatest risk of all is giving your heart to the wrong person.
