Synopsis

Maya Alatorre has just graduated and decides to spend the Formula 1 season traveling with her brother Santiago, a rising star on the grid. What she doesn't plan for is Noah Slade — the son of an F1 legend, a ruthless champion, and her brother's fiercest rival. Grumpy, guarded, and shaped by a toxic upbringing, Noah is exactly the kind of man Maya should stay away from.

Their chemistry is immediate and inconvenient. What begins as a secret, no-strings arrangement steadily deepens into feelings neither of them is prepared to handle, complicated by Noah's playboy reputation, the pressures of the championship, and Maya's loyalty to her brother. When the danger of the sport catches up with them, both are forced to decide what they're willing to risk.

Throttled is Lauren Asher's debut and the first book in the Dirty Air series, a steamy contemporary sports romance set against the glamour and speed of the Formula 1 circuit.
