Eight years ago, she walked away from it all. Not because she hated the world of racing, but because she wanted something more than the future everyone had already imagined for her. Armed with ambition, sketchbooks, and a dream that felt too big to ignore, she left the paddocks, the circuits, and the people who had been woven into the fabric of her life for as long as she could remember. She told herself she would come back eventually. She never did. Until now. Returning to Formula 1 was never supposed to be personal. It was supposed to be work. A project. A few events. A temporary step back into a world she had long since built a life beyond. Instead, it feels like stepping into a version of herself she thought she had left behind. Because some places remember you. And some people do too. Especially the ones you never really got over. The problem isn't that he's changed. The problem is that the connection between them still feels familiar enough to be dangerous. What once existed between them was never clearly defined, never given the chance to become what everyone quietly assumed it would. It was left unfinished, buried beneath distance, timing, ambition, and years spent pretending that leaving had been enough to leave everything else behind too. Now they're forced back into the same orbit. The same paddocks. The same people. The same memories. And for the first time in years, she has to face the possibility that some things never disappeared at all. They were only waiting to be found again. A slow-burn story about ambition, timing, first loves, unfinished feelings, and what happens when the life you chose collides with the life you left behind.

"Do you believe in Secrets?" he asked, eyes flickering between my lips to my eyes, his hand moving from the back of my head, trailing the path to my arm. Low chuckle left my lips, "Depends." ▷ • ---------- • ϟ [ lando norris x fem!oc ] ~19.8.2023 - 1.7.2024 ~ t r o p e s fake dating | unintended slowburn annoyance-idiots-friends to lovers

Track star Maeve Maddox and Formula 1 driver Lando Norris enter a high-profile PR relationship designed to boost their public images. What begins as a calculated arrangement quickly starts to blur the lines between performance and reality. As the spotlight intensifies and their carefully crafted personas begin to crack, Maeve and Lando must confront a question neither expected: Is this still an act... or has something real begun to grow? *2024 schedule* *I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS IN THIS BOOK-If they are your photos and you would like credit or for me to take them down.

He's the star of the track. She's the one calling the shots. But some lines aren't meant to be crossed, until they are. When McLaren appoints a sharp, composed new team principal, the paddock buzzes with speculation...and so does Lando Norris. He expected a boss with rules, not a woman who sees right through his charm. She expected a driver focused on racing, not someone who makes her pulse race with a single glance. What starts as subtle tension quickly spirals into something far more dangerous: a secret relationship fueled by late-night meetings, stolen glances, and the thrill of what they can't say out loud. In a world where appearances are everything and careers hang in the balance, falling for each other might be the biggest risk they've ever taken. But secrets have a way of getting out. And some things were never meant to stay hidden.

The summer of 2025 in Monaco was supposed to be just another luxurious getaway for me-a break from the high-paced world of fashion marketing. But when my friend Elio, a Ferrari F1 mechanic, invited me to an exclusive rooftop party, I found myself stepping into a world I had admired from afar since childhood. Amongst the glittering elite of Formula 1, I felt out of place, sipping champagne in quiet observation. It wasn't until I wandered to the other side of the rooftop, where the sunset painted the Monaco skyline in hues of gold and crimson, that my night truly began. A clumsy mistake-a shattered cocktail glass tumbling down from the rooftop-was all it took to catch the attention of someone I never expected to meet. Lando Norris. The young, talented McLaren driver stood opposite me, his laughter breaking the tension. But when our eyes finally met, something shifted. A moment of silence. A confession that slipped from his lips before he could stop it. And just like that, everything changed. by stella, best ranking!! 19/03/2025 #1 : lando 19/03/2025 #1: norris 21/03/2025 #1 : mclaren 25/03/2025 #1 : ln4 21/04/2025 #1 : oscarpiastri 23/04/2025 #1 : f1drivers 08/06/2025 #1 : f1fanfiction 28/06/2025 #1 : sportsromance 03/07/2025 #1 : mclaren 04/08/2025 #1 : booktok 09/08/2025 #1 : f1fanfiction This story is purely fictional, and I mean no disrespect to anyone!
