Champagne Circuit
Before the famous Grand Prix in Monaco, a charity race leads billionaire and sports car enthusiast Clover VanIvery to stumble through a speechless encounter with her favorite driver, Niko Morrison. In turn, he’s instantly taken with her charm, and they ultimately end up together for drinks near the track.
Later, at a company’s gala on the team owner’s yacht, Clover and Niko share a heated tryst on their balcony, unnoticed by everyone except Niko’s hated rival and teammate, Wesley Hoyt. Unable to curb his temper, Niko goes after Hoyt, but the witness to their tryst escapes and doubles back, eager to claim Clover as his own.
At the next race on tour, Clover proves she’s not just a novelty, performing an outrageous, but impressive, stunt on the track. It’s a tour de force that stirs Niko even further, provoking Hoyt to pursue the trophy with depraved vengeance.
Champagne Circuit is as fast-paced off the track as on, leading Niko and Hoyt on a collision course, one man desperate to protect the woman he finally admitted into his heart, and the other craving what he can’t have, and willing to destroy anyone standing in his way.
Starling – Emery's Version
Emery Starling is on top of the world, thriving as the pulse of the music charts and industry. Through years of relationships that sizzled until they fizzled, Emery built an empire with her soul, writing words that break and mend hearts in mere minutes. Surprisingly, she receives a very public offer from Jaxon Tinker—pro football’s heartthrob and world-class tight end—to attend a game as his guest.
After proper vetting, Emery tiptoes into unfamiliar water and publicly accepts his invite while on stage. Their unusually social romance dances through an obstacle course of the realities of a life with Emery, all under the eye of millions and the relentless media. As the stakes rise, Jaxon makes every effort to provide a shell of safety around their newly budding relationship and around Emery herself.
Emery falls deep and hard and begins penning a song of their story, clueing Jaxon in during a holiday visit at his family farm. In doing so, he riffs some new lines into the lyric himself, driving Emery’s interest home and towards another monumental leap of faith.
Jaxon and Emery tackle every hurdle together, until a disaster draws a thick line in the sand, prompting Jaxon to make a choice that changes everything for Emery—and for him.
Will the daily grind of straddling the musical and sports worlds be insurmountable, or can they build a foundation beneath their apprehensive feet, finally rewarding Emery with her own End Game?
