Throttled (Deluxe Edition) (Special)
by Lauren Asher
New York Times bestseller and TikTok sensation Lauren Asher brings her signature heart, angst, and steam to a high-octane series of interconnected standalones featuring F1 drivers. Noah Slade is a legend in the making, and Maya Alatorre's brother's rival...but their forbidden passion is one move away from detonating.
Noah
Maya Alatorre is the sister of my teammate...and my new obsession.
Keeping my distance during the Formula 1 season should be easy, except I always find ways to see her.
Press tours. Pre-race rituals. Sponsor events and black-tie galas.
The more time we spend together, the stronger my desire grows.
Sneaking around with her is one thing, but wanting more?
Never going to happen.
She might be a distraction dressed like a daydream, but no woman is worth risking the championship title over.
Or so I thought.
Maya
Noah Slade is Formula 1 royalty and my brother's biggest rival.
When I'm invited to join my sibling while he competes for the World Championship, I promise to avoid Noah at all costs.
Twenty-one races. Two drivers who hate each other. And one forbidden attraction I can't ignore.
Developing feelings for Noah wasn't part of my plan.
But then again, neither was anyone finding out.
Turns out the man I was warned about happens to be the one I can't stay away from.
Even if he breaks my heart once the season comes to an end.
Racing Hearts
by Jude Barnes
June Walker isn't the type to throw punches. At least, not anymore. She's given too much for her career as a showjumper to risk it.

Now, her sponsor is threatening to drop her over her scuffle with the one and only Diego Cabrera. Not only is her combatant a well-known race car driver in Formula One, but he's sponsored by the same company.
With no new sponsorship deals, a public scandal, and a rough start to her showjumping season, June needs a positive shift. So when Diego offers her a deal-one involving a fake romance with them at the center-June is left with no other choice.
The bargain is struck and the lie begins. But when their feelings-and the dangers of their sports-start to feel more real, will their dedication be enough to bring them together, or will it be the one thing that tears them apart?
Formula Fling

Welcome to Formula International, where legends are born and speed is king. From New York Times Bestselling Author Sawyer Bennett comes the Race Fever series, set within the fast-paced and dangerous world of formula racing.
Posey Evans is looking to take her career as a romance author to the next level, shifting from historical love stories to writing about the high stakes world of formula racing. Wanting to immerse herself in the sport, Posey manages to secure full access to the Crown Velocity Racing team by faking credentials as a journalist. When she's granted unlimited face-to-face time with one of the teams' best drivers, Posey is equal parts elated and terrified because while she's getting exactly what she wants, she can't afford to have her secret exposed.
Lex Hamilton lives for the thrill of being one of the fastest and most decorated race car drivers in the sport. When he's behind the wheel, he's focused on one thing and one thing only-earning top spot on the podium. But off the track? Let's just say his extracurricular activities have put him on a very short leash with the team management at Crown Velocity. He's cocky, handsome, dripping with swagger, and not super happy to have what he considers a babysitter following his every move. Lex's unwillingness to help doesn't deter Posey but when he uncovers her secret, they strike a deal-he won't reveal her truth if she helps him stay out of trouble and keep his job.
While many women would swoon at his feet, Posey isn't interested in anything more than Lex's racing knowledge. Mostly. As the season inches closer and passions ignite, time at the track leads to time in the bed. Having agreed there is an expiration date on their arrangement, what started as an assignment has the potential to go the distance as their physical relationship builds into something deeper. But when her secret is revealed, will Lex and Posey's relationship hit a wall, or will this fling find its way to the checkered flag?
