Racing Hearts

He thought he could handle anything—until tragedy left him raising his nephew alone.

James Kim, Ferrari's untouchable star, built his reputation on ice-cold control. Calm in the cockpit. Frozen outside it. But when his sister dies and he becomes guardian to six-year-old Leo, everything shatters. His nephew won't speak. James can't cope. And the nannies keep quitting.

Enter Maria Bello—the sports psychologist hired to help Leo heal. She's warmth to James's winter, the one person who sees past his armor. But as she brings his silent nephew back to life, the lines between professional and personal blur dangerously.

Maria knows falling for a client is career suicide. James knows he can't afford to feel—not when he's barely holding together. But Leo needs them both. And sometimes the most broken families are the ones we choose.

She's sunshine to his shadows. He's learning that control means nothing without connection. Together, they might just save each other.
