The First Turn (Throttle & Thrust Book 1)

Cast out by his father’s racing empire, a disgraced driver hunts for glory—and collides with the irresistible man who controls his fate.Wyatt West had it all: a championship-contending seat with his father’s motorsport team, the West Racing legacy in his blood, and a future mapped out in silver and blue. Until Cash West caught him kissing another driver and cast him out without a second thought.Sixteen months later, Wyatt gets his shot at revenge when Paolo Rossi—his father’s oldest rival—offers him a lifeline. The scarlet and gold of Rossi Performance represents more than just a new team. It’s his chance to prove that talent trumps bloodline, that he can win without the West name.But Wyatt didn’t count on Sergio García.The enigmatic Spanish team principal is everything Wyatt’s father isn’t—brilliant, controlled, and devastatingly attractive. As victories mount from Monaco to Barcelona and championship hopes soar, the professional chemistry between them ignites into something far more dangerous. Stolen moments in engineering offices, heated confrontations on Mediterranean balconies, and whispered confessions under city lights blur every line Wyatt swore he’d never cross again.In a sport where image is everything and secrets are weapons, loving Sergio could destroy them both. When Wyatt’s private struggles are weaponized against him and family loyalty becomes a blood sport, he must choose to play it safe and lose himself, or risk everything for a love that could end his career forever.Some races are won with courage. Others with heart.From podium victories to passionate nights, from family betrayal to found love, The First Turn delivers high-octane romance where the stakes are championship glory and the prize is everything that matters.
