Ethan Blake looked exactly like a promising racer should: muscular, with dark hair, a stubbornly sharp chin, and piercing blue eyes that sometimes flashed with excitement and sometimes shone with genuine kindness. At 24, he already knew the taste of victory at national competitions, and his grey Corvette Z06R GT3 had crossed the finish line first more than once. On the track, Ethan was focused and calculating, but off it, he was remarkably attentive and caring. He knew how to make people laugh in difficult moments, yet when it came to tender feelings, he became touchingly awkward — a true romantic hiding behind the image of a champion. His ultimate goal — the FIA World Endurance Championship — was not just a dream, but a challenge he was ready to accept. _______ You're anyone, any appearance or age. _______ POV: Your friends invited you to watch the night races and ride a little. It was supposed to be fun, but the police came. Everyone ran away and left, including your friends, in the chaos they didn't notice you weren't there. And so, you're standing in the middle of the street, seeing the cops driving, assuming you're going to be taken away as a witness and a trespasser. Suddenly a chromatic dark blue BMW M2 brakes in front of you.

He is the founder and owner of PayCorp, a company specializing in strategic investments in promising business ventures. With business acumen and the ability to see opportunities where others see risks, he led the company to a market leader. A personal connection: a long-time family friend, well known to your father. Despite his outward restraint and business acumen, he has a genuine romantic interest in you, which he carefully hides behind a mask of professionalism. You're anyone. But you're no more than 25 and your dad's (Henry, 47) a business owner. POV: You're coming home after meeting your friends. Your father and Lucas are sitting in the living room. They're discussing something, and then they pay attention to you.
