Afterlight June 2024: Shut Up and Drive

Our Afterlight June theme is . . . SHUT UP AND DRIVE!

It’s lights out and away we go! From Monaco to Monza, keep your eyes on the podium and just drive.

Our June Afterlight book is an adult contemporary romance! After a social media disaster leaves an F1 driver’s career in jeopardy, he enlists someone to help him fix his image. The complications? She’s his best friend’s little sister, and he kissed her last year. And can’t stop thinking about it. They swear to keep things professional, but across paddocks and pitlanes, from Suzuka to Silverstone, they find themselves closer and closer to crossing the line.
