Lights Out

What do you do when the man you can't have is the only one who sees you?DAMIEN<BR>I've won in Monaco three times.<BR>I've driven through rain, mechanical failures, and a championship that almost broke me at twenty-one. I know how to control a car at two hundred miles an hour. I know how to control a room, a press conference, a season, and women.<BR>I did not know how to control what happened the moment Imara Baptiste opened her mouth in a Barcelona hotel and said exactly the wrong thing at exactly the right time.<BR>She works for her father. I drive for the competition. There are a hundred reasons this doesn't happen.<BR>I stopped counting them somewhere over the Atlantic.<BR>Now I'm ten races from a world title I've spent seven years chasing - and the one person who could cost me everything is the same person I can't stop thinking about.<BR>I've never wanted something I wasn't supposed to have.<BR>>IMARA<BR>I know what people think when they see me in this paddock.<BR>Conrad Baptiste's daughter. Got the job because of the name on the door. A diversity hire in a sport that doesn't like to change.<BR>I've been proving them wrong since February. Every press conference. Every media briefing. Every time I walk into a room and feel the weight of what I have to be.<BR>I don't have room for mistakes.<BR>Damien Verlaine is the kind of mistake that ends careers.<BR>He's the rival team's star driver. He's brilliant and focused and completely off-limits - and he looks at me like he already knows every version of me I've been trying to hide.<BR>Then I found the file.<BR>My father's office. Seven years ago. A deal that buried a twenty-one-year-old driver's future before it started.<BR>That driver was Damien.<BR>>He's chasing a championship. I'm carrying the truth that could take it away.
