Fast Lane

An investigative journalist. A Formula 1 garage. And a mechanic hiding a three-hundred-million-euro secret.

Lexie Tate is embedded at Everhart Racing for a season-long feature, and she's trained to uncover what people hide. Fynn Haines is the mechanic with oil-stained hands, closed-briefing access, and a digital footprint scrubbed clean by a six-figure privacy firm. He sold his tech company for a fortune — and chose the garage over the boardroom because the work is real and the money never was.

But Lexie notices the gaps. The access that doesn't match the job title. The car he shouldn't be able to afford. The way his hands go still when she walks into a room — hands that never go still.

She's closing in on his secret. He's falling for the one person who could expose it. And the closer they get — professionally, personally, dangerously — the harder it becomes to tell whether she's chasing the story or the man.

The problem isn't that she might find the truth. It's that when she does, it won't be because he gave it to her.
