Rival Hearts

Eleven years ago Soren made a choice that cost him everything. He decides to look after himself rather than standing with Nico, his best friend. Their bond was shattered in one choice made by Soren. This left resentment, bitterness, guilt, and unresolved feelings. 

Now they are both 28 years of age, and fate brings them back together, working for the same failing Formula 1 team. The golden boy is still Soren, hiding his charm behind fake smiles, while Nico is cold, bitter, and unapologetic himself. With every interaction, their past simmers beneath the surface. This turns the garage into a battlefield with tension around every corner. 

But by being close together, their defenses start to lower. As the season is in full swing, their rivalry starts to become something else. When there is love that is so deep, it can not stay undercover for too long. Hatred can only hide for a certain time before it boils to the surface.
