Some things burn hot on and off the track...
A tumultuous season filled with reckless driving, drunken debauchery, and more bad press than a kinky politician leaves five-time Formula 1 World Champion Blake Hollis in desperate need of an image overhaul. To redeem his tarnished reputation, his team decides it's time for drastic measures. Their solution: a tell-all book that showcases his illustrious career and presents a more respectable public persona.
Enter Ella Gold, a once-renowned sportswriter and podcast host desperate for a fresh start. She accepts the challenge of writing Blake's biography knowing that getting close to the brooding Brit will be challenging. But interviewing Blake can't be worse than staying in NYC where rumors of her podcast's demise follow her like a bad Hinge date.
As they spend the season together, sparks fly, barriers break, and their dynamic shifts from antagonistic to something entirely unexpected. Throughout twenty-one races around the world, they'll face the ultimate interview question: can they write their own happy ending, or is their love destined to crash and burn?
Drive Me Crazy is a spicy Formula 1 romantic comedy with heart, heat, humor, and a guaranteed HEA. This is the first book in the Drive Me series and can be read as a standalone.
