Summary
Imogen Moore loves her job. Loves Formula One.
But Formula One is currently dominated by one person: Max Verstappen.
The problem isn’t that he’s difficult to photograph. It’s that every picture she takes of him comes out wrong. Flat. Lifeless. Missing something she can’t explain.
Imogen prides herself on adapting under pressure, and with an official Formula 1 media accreditation on the line, Max Verstappen has become the one subject she needs to capture at all costs.
Unfortunately, the closer she gets to capturing him, the harder it becomes to look away.

Summary
What if the best driver of recent years isn't actually *him*? What if the best driver is actually hiding something else? Would he still be the best? Or just a simple fraud?
❛❛ Becoming champion was the least of their concerns. Finishing as runner-up, however, was a completely different story. Neither of them would ever allow themselves to be second place, and that was the real issue. Winning didn't matter-it was about not losing to the other. ❜❜

Summary
At 25, crime beat reporter Violet Sorrengail is already one of the most accomplished journalists in California, with an investigation into bribery at the LAPD gaining her national attention and fancy job offers in New York. But a panicked phone call from a source leaves her rattled — and seeking answers she can’t hope to get with a press badge hanging around her neck when they're found dead.
LAPD Detective Xaden Riorson is fighting a losing battle. The Aretia Hills Station he practically grew up in is crumbling under the weight of understaffing, gangs that seem to become more emboldened by the day, and distrust from the people he’s sworn to protect. Worse, he's being saddled with training a reporter who thinks she's a cop while the gang that bribed the station's officers continues running rampant.
Xaden and Violet couldn't be more diametrically opposed, and their partnership couldn’t get off to a worse start. But as Violet begins to uncover how the scandal that led her to the LAPD isn’t as black-and-white as she’d always believed, Xaden starts to suspect that there is something she — and the LAPD — is hiding.

Summary
Violet Sorrengail just wants to survive her first summer back at Aretia in nearly two years.
Older now, with new fears and new grief, she worries how she'll find her way back. But when she returns, the mountain is the same, with its cool, fresh air. The cabins still have graffiti-covered rafters and creaky floors. And there is Xaden Riorson, still shooting her glares and wicked grins from across the dining hall.
***
Xaden's frozen, his gaze midnight, flickering over my loose, mused hair. His eyes snag on the beginnings of a braid. I huff, shooting him a look and dropping the strands I’ve been trying to weave again. “Today it's just not cooperating.”
His smile is sly as he meets my gaze in the mirror. “Let me.” I flash a disbelieving look as he steps forward, hands wide in an appeasing gesture. “I lived with Sloane for nearly a decade. I can French braid, or Dutch if you’d prefer.” He quirks his brow at me in our reflections, and truly, how is this man allowed to exist?
