Experience the High-Stakes Story
Let the passion unfold with the official audiobook, bringing every turn of the track and every pulse-pounding moment to life. Perfect for your next flight to Monaco or a quiet evening in the Riviera.
The narrative opens in the Hamptons, where a last-minute gala invitation sparks an electric connection between Harper and an elite Formula Mondial driver. Their whirlwind journey spans the globe's most luxurious destinations—from the sun-drenched Greek Isles and sultry New York summer nights to crisp autumns in London and frozen winters in Finland. Behind the champagne-drenched aesthetic lies a high-stakes story of ambition, hidden pasts, public relations scandals, and forbidden desire where fortunes and luck are won and lost in split seconds.
Chapter One: Country Club Dreams
The music was too loud, all glittering synths and frenetic drum loops featuring blended vocals. K-pop, I guessed—though I couldn’t name the group. It somehow suited the room: sleek, intimate, designed to look like an accidental discovery when, in truth, its curators had planned it to within an inch of its life. I was buried in a sea of cushions, half-lost in the velvet luxury of it all, trying to rise, literally and figuratively, with some semblance of cool detachment. I didn’t usually care what anyone thought of me. But I’d been trying to get into this place for months. Months.
And all it had taken was one vaguely flirtatious yes to Jason, a venture capitalist or FinTech exec, something finance-adjacent I’d already let slip through the sieve of my memory. To be fair, the food was transcendent. Bite-sized sculptures that exploded with flavors I couldn’t pronounce but wanted to remember forever. Around us, the room sparkled with a constellation of familiar faces of off-duty models, a couple of B-list actors trying to look unbothered, and the requisite fashion editors in form-fitting black. Everyone looked like they were exactly where they were supposed to be. Except me. Though it didn't really matter where I was, I never quite felt like I fit in anywhere.
