Eternal Embers SE New York Times bestseller and TikTok sensation Lauren Asher brings her signature heart, angst, and steam to a high-octane series of interconnected standalones featuring F1 drivers. Chloe Carter goes to Italy to find her long-lost father, but finds a fake boyfriend in Santiago Alatorre instead. Santiago One mistake destroys my career, and I go from the most eligible Formula 1 driver to a grumpy recluse. I'm committed to spending the rest of my retirement alone until Chloe Carter breaks into my house, accusing me of stealing her phone. She is a criminal who should be arrested, but I pretend she is my girlfriend instead. My plan is risky, but fake dating Chloe could solve all my problems with my family. Or so I thought until our act transforms into something more, and I'm left wondering what could happen if we drop it altogether. The only problem? Chloe hates liars, and I happen to be the biggest one of all. Chloe My whole life changes after an ancestry kit matches me with a long-lost father in Italy who has no idea I exist. Next thing I know, I'm in a fake relationship with a local who happens to be my father's favorite Formula 1 driver. The catch? I had no idea who Santiago Alatorre was before I agreed to be his girlfriend, so I'm stuck continuing the ruse. Fulfilling our arrangement is one thing, but falling in love in the process? Never going to happen, even if Santiago is determined to prove me wrong.
