What to expect

Penguin Presents the Duet Production of Full Throttle.

A fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers romance set against the glamorous and high-pressure world of Formula 1 racing, perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Simone Soltani, and Netflix’s Drive to Survive.

She’s the first-ever female driver. He’s her biggest competition. They broke each other’s hearts. Can they survive a cutthroat Formula 1 season . . . as teammates?

Juliette Marchmont is making history as the first female driver in Formula 1 – and nothing will shake her focus. Not the critics. Not the fact she’s driving the worst car on the grid. Not even sharing the spotlight with the man who once shattered her heart.

Dominic Hastings needs a comeback, not complications – but his fierce new teammate might be the one distraction he can’t outrace.

Forced into close-quarters training, Juliette and Dominic clash at every turn. And as their rivalry blurs into something far more heated, they must decide what they want more: the championship trophy . . . or each other.

Lights out. Full throttle.

Buckle up for a dose of:

Formula 1 romance

rivals-to-lovers

first female driver on the grid

spice!

protective mmc

forced proximity (as teammates!)

student x mentor flashbacks

second-chance romance
