Running Hot

A spicy new romance in the Ashford Academy F1 series, where ambition and attraction rule on and off the track.

He’s the exiled son of a racing dynasty. She's the twin sister of his new teammate and rival.

Theo Ashford is Formula 1’s wildcard. The reckless youngest son of a billionaire racing legend never met a rule he couldn’t break. When he scores a spot racing for a rival team after leaving Ashford Academy in a cloud of rumors and scandal, it’s finally his chance to prove he’s more than a spoiled playboy.

Quinn Callahan has spent her life helping her twin brother achieve his dreams—watching his triumphs and heartbreaks from the sidelines. Until Theo Ashford arrives at Ignite Racing and turns her carefully built world upside down.

Theo is everything she should avoid: reckless, challenging, and too charming for his own good. Yet, the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the attraction burning between them...or the idea of a life in which Quinn finally puts herself first.

But falling for her brother’s new teammate could cost Quinn the person she’s sacrificed everything for. And breaking this particular rule might cost Theo his last chance to prove himself.
