Dirty Air (High-Speed M/M Formula One Sports Romance #2)
Finn Archer
Sebastian Vane prefers equations to emotions and wind tunnels to people. As Ironclad Racing's brilliant aerodynamicist, he designs the car that keeps drivers alive at 200 mph—then retreats to the shadows where he belongs. He's out, he's neurodivergent, and he's long since accepted that love isn't written in his code.
Nico Rossi is everything Seb doesn't trust. Flashy. Gorgeous. A playboy driver who treats F1 like an extended fashion shoot and shows up to press conferences looking like he stepped off a runway. When Nico transfers to Ironclad mid-season, Seb is assigned as his race engineer—which means working late nights in the garage with a man he's certain is all image, zero substance.
Except Nico isn't what Seb expected. Behind the designer suits is a man starved for intellectual connection, desperate to be seen for his mind instead of his face. Behind the performance is a heart that's been broken too many times by people who wanted the celebrity, not the person.
As they work together to fix a potentially fatal design flaw, the turbulence between them clears. Late-night data sessions turn into conversations about childhood dreams. Tire-compound debates become confessions about loneliness. And Seb discovers a capacity for tenderness he thought he'd engineered out of himself.
But falling for the driver you're responsible for keeping alive is a catastrophic conflict of interest—one that could destroy both their careers and cost Nico his life.
When the line between professional and personal blurs at 200 mph, can an engineer who thinks in data trust his heart?
