The first woman to crack the factory seat didn't get there by playing nice.

Olivia Cross has spent her entire career being told the premier class was not built for her. Too feminine. Too distracting. Too much of a liability in a sport where the wrong decision at 200 miles per hour ends your life. She ignored all of it.

When she lands a factory seat on Victor Sterling's elite Black Flag Racing team, the paddock doesn't celebrate. Bridgette Moreau - the woman who spent ten years quietly grinding for that seat - smiles for the cameras and begins to dismantle Olivia from the inside out. And Dante Vale, the arrogant, three-time world champion who shares her garage, makes it his personal mission to remind her exactly who owns this sport.

But Olivia Cross didn't come to survive. She came to win.

As the season accelerates from Catalunya to Mugello and beyond, the sabotage gets more sophisticated, the FIA scrutiny grows more dangerous, and the line between Olivia and Dante's hostility blurs into something far more volatile. Someone in that paddock wants her gone badly enough to make it look like an accident.

And Olivia is starting to wonder who she can afford to trust - if anyone at all.

Slipstream is a dark, multi-POV psychological thriller. It contains explicit content, morally complex characters, on-track danger, and a toxic enemies-to-lovers dynamic with no apologies.
