Brad Pitt’s F1 movie meets Abbey Jimenez’s Part of Your World in this glittering, high-stakes YA romance about speed, status, and choosing your own lane.

She’s the mechanic’s daughter. He’s racing royalty. Together, they’re leaving it all on the track.

Raised by her Indy

Car legend father, Tessa James spent her childhood dreaming of becoming the first full-time female driver in Formula One. But everything changed the day a car crash took her mother’s life and ended her father’s career. Now, Tessa lives life in neutral. Her father runs a small machine shop servicing race teams, and Tessa manages the front office–safe, steady, and miles from the track she once loved.

When Tessa’s best friend drags her along to Monaco for the Grand Prix, she’s swept into a glittering world of champagne yachts, designer shoes, and racing royalty. But beneath the luxury lies the familiar pulse of the track and Pietro Deveraux, a driver who is practically Formula One royalty, whose quiet confidence reminds her what it felt like to chase something with her whole heart.

Set against the electric pulse of racing season in Indianapolis, Formula, He’s the One is a high-octane, slow-burn YA romance about grief, resilience, and rediscovering your fire when life takes you off track.

Because sometimes love isn’t just the finish line. It’s the courage to start again.
