"Keep dreaming, Martinez. Fast cars won't save you from losing control when I'm involved."
"I may be chasing trophies, but what I really want? That's still standing right in front of me, challenging me every damn second."

"I bet you still hate losing as much as you did back then."
"I wouldn't know. I don't lose."

In the sun-drenched streets of Mijas, Spain, Carlos Martinez and Viola Lopez were the undisputed kings of competition—two fiery souls locked in an endless tug-of-war, whether it was who scored higher on exams or who ran faster in gym class. Their rivalry was the stuff of legend, with the whole school watching their every move like it was a soap opera.
But then Carlos, with his sights set on burning rubber and blazing tracks, zipped off to follow in his father's footsteps, snagging a contract with a top F1 team. Viola, on the other hand, swapped her textbooks for cookbooks, whisking her way to a prestigious culinary school in England. She returned home, not with a trophy, but with a bakery—'Whisk and Crumbs' — that she opened with her best friend.
Seven years have passed since they last crossed paths, and the memory of their final, unfinished spat still lingers. But now, Carlos is back in town, engine roaring and ego as inflated as ever. Viola, with her bakery thriving and her pastries turning heads, is not about to let him steal the spotlight again.
As fate would have it, their reunion isn't exactly a walk in the park—it's more like a high-speed chase with a side of frosting. Carlos, convinced that speed is the ultimate proof of victory, tries to woo Viola with his flashy lifestyle and high-octane tales. Viola, ever the queen of comebacks, counters with baked goods so divine they could make a saint swear.
Between laps around the local track and late-night bake-offs, sparks fly and tempers flare. Old rivalries resurface, but so do old feelings—ones neither of them are ready to admit. Because in this race, there's more than just a finish line at stake; there's also the small matter of their hearts, which might just end up being the sweetest prize of all.
Will Carlos prove that life in the fast lane is as thrilling as it seems? Or will Viola teach him that sometimes, the best things in life rise slowly—like a perfectly baked cake? One thing's for sure: in this town, the competition is fierce, and the stakes have never been higher... or tastier.

"Racing's not just about speed, it's about control. You know that, right?"
"Baking isn't about speed; it's about precision, timing, and heart. Something you wouldn't understand, being too busy chasing trophies."

"You can keep pretending you're unaffected, Viola, but I see the way you look at me."
"Look at you? Please, Martinez. You're the one who can't keep your eyes off me."
"Can you blame me? It's hard to ignore something that tempting."

So about the book:⛧Its a motorsport romance. All the characters and names are fictional. I am not doing any real F1 racer x oc. This will have complete different racers and teams. That is, no Ferrari, McLaren or any other team and no driver like Carlos Sainz, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton or more. Team names are completely made up.⛧Its an childhood enemies to lovers romance (cause why the fuck not?). I do not have any face claim for the male and female lead or any other characters. You all can imagine anyone you feel like:)⛧Though the male lead, Carlos Martinez, you can guess where I am going with this, but yes, he's inspired by Carlos Sainz cause I love that man so much. Like dude how can someone be this gorgeous. When I was writing he just clicked into my mind and I knew who the male lead would resemble. So you guys can imagine him as well but I am pretty sure their personalities would be complete different.⛧This is a R-rated book and will contain spicy scenes. I will give warning beforehand if the chapter would include sexual content or not for whoever is uncomfortable with it (I know you all love it though and are anything but uncomfortable with it). ⛧There is no third act breakup, cheating, love triangle. Its gonna be a sweet, fun story to read with playful banters and romance, fluff and maybe smut. Give me your opinion and what you feel about this and do comment your feelings:)xoxo, Tara
