Description

Get trackside for this steamy grumpy-sunshine F1 romance, perfect for readers of Lauren Asher and Simone Soltani.

Love in the Fast Lane centres around Jack Garrett, the reigning world champion with a secret: he doesn't love Formula 1. Known for his cold-as-ice demeanour, behind the scenes, he's a man running out of reasons to race.

Enter Kaya Beck, the team's new communications strategist and Jack's last chance to stay on the grid. Sponsors are nervous, headlines are ruthless, and Jack's behaviour is out of control. It's up to Kaya to keep him on track—literally and figuratively—if she wants to keep her own career intact.

As Kaya gets to know Jack, she discovers there's more to the 'Jack Frost' persona than she originally thought. However, Kaya is hiding a secret of her own, one that could tear their relationship—and the whole team—apart.

About the Author

Laura Greaves is a multi-award-winning author whose work celebrates passion, connection, and finding joy in unexpected places. She has written a dozen books, including the romantic comedies Be My Baby, The Ex-Factor, and Two Weeks 'til Christmas. Laura fell for Formula 1 as a kid, when her grandparents would let her stay up late to watch races with them. Her devotion runs deep- she even has world champion Lewis Hamilton's race number, 44, tattooed on her. A born-and-bred Adelaidean, Laura has never quite forgiven Melbourne for stealing the Australian Grand Prix. Laura is also the author of a series of bestselling non-fiction books about extraordinary dogs and the people who love them. She lives in the NSW Blue Mountains with her husband, three children, and a pack of much-loved dogs. Her bucket-list dream is to win the lottery and follow the F1 circus around the world.
