Two sinners meet in a church basement.
Marco Bianchi has just walked away from another reminder that no matter how far he runs, his family will always expect him to answer for their sins.
Ivy Sinclair is one failed PR campaign away from losing everything she built.
She needs a way into the Formula 1 paddock.
He needs one decision that belongs entirely to him.
So Marco offers her a favor.
Neither of them knows it will become a lifeline.
Born into a dynasty built on obedience, secrecy, and blood, Marco has spent his life becoming whatever the Bianchis required: dutiful son, flawless champion, beautiful weapon. But when his family threatens the career he built beyond their control, the woman he helped into the paddock becomes the only person ruthless enough to protect him.
Ivy manages beautiful disasters for a living. Marco should be another calculated risk, a powerful name capable of salvaging her reputation and reopening every door that Gareth threatened to close.
Except Marco is no longer just the key to saving her career.
He is the man already beneath her skin.
As professional lines blur and the Bianchi bloodline tightens its grip, Marco and Ivy become each other's best chance at survival. But his family's legacy is darker than rumor, older than guilt, and determined to claim what belongs to it.
They may be able to save each other's careers.
Their hearts will require a different kind of absolution.
