CRASH COURSE

Piper Lawson

An angsty, slow-burn, spicy F1 academy romance about fast cars and family secrets, this is the first in a series of connected standalone novels all set in the world of F1 and Ashford Academy.
Shay MacDonald was raised to avoid two things: race cars and the Ashford family. But when an accident puts her mechanic father on bedrest, she vows to save hiscareer by covertly covering his shifts at the Ashford garage and enrolling at the Ashford Academy--a school that trains drivers and engineers for the lucrative F1 circuit.

Keeping a low profile is quickly out of the question when she has a run-in with the Ashford brothers on day one. Theo and Jameson are racing royalty who know they can get away with anything and their iniital interaction leaves a bitter taste in Shay's mouth.

Despite her antipathy, both brothers can't keep away. Shay must maintain some distance to protect her secrets, but the more time she spends in the world of the rich and famous Ashfords, the more she finds everyone is keeping secrets.

Secrets that could shatter her past, her future, and her heart.
