Overview

Colton Racing was once the crown jewel of Formula 1, a team that defined an era of dominance. But those glory days are long gone. Now a struggling backmarker on the grid, the once-great team faces ridicule, failure, and a legacy slipping through its fingers. Violet Colton, a successful businesswoman, takes over the team as the new CEO and team principal, tasked with reviving her late father's faltering empire against impossible odds. With her sharp wit and fierce ambition, she navigates a world of cutthroat competition and high expectations, determined to prove herself in a male-dominated sport where she's been overlooked and underestimated. Desperate for a spark to reignite the team, Violet takes a chance on William Foster, a fiercely talented but overlooked driver who ends up groveling for a seat. Charming and playful, he's driven by ambition to prove himself after being cast aside by F1 teams branding him as ""damaged goods"". As they face intense rivalries and high-stakes races, their dynamic starts blurring the lines of professionalism. William is captivated by Violet's strength and passion, while she struggles to keep her emotions at bay. Their initial annoyance evolves into a friendship that never was-and something deeper that threatens to unravel their carefully constructed barriers. Together, they'll take on the relentless demands of the F1 world, battling against the odds as underdogs in a sport that mocks their ambitions. Can Violet and William defy expectations to take Colton Racing one step closer to its former glory? And in the heat of competition, will they risk it all for a forbidden love that could change everything? This is book #1 in a trilogy following the same couple - Violet and William - and Colton Racing. You can read this book as a standalone, but for a better and more complete experience, it is recommended to read all books in this series. All books in this series are intended for mature audiences. Trigger warnings are listed in the author's note. Please read it because your mental health comes first.

Reviews

""As a huge F1 fan, it is really hard to find books that are accurate to the sport whilst creating reliable and realistic characters. Especially with the F1 movie coming out attention around female representation in the sport has become something so important and Vanessa Silva combats this so well through the character of Violet. At first I was concerned with her what her character arc would be, especially because this book is a romance, but OH MY GOODNESS, this was executed to PERFECTION!"" - Goodreads reviewer --- ""Racing for Redemption is not your average F1 romance. You have realistic and detailed racing action that makes you believe you are actually seeing a GP onboard one of the drivers. You have equal measures of angst during the races, and longing off the track between the two main characters, William and Violet. This is one of the few relationships in books that actually feel mature, on both ends, despite the age gap. You have good communication, banter that'll make you wish some characters were real and friendships that make sense. Blake is a good example of that. He's always present and sometimes ends up taking in a fatherly role to the Fmc. (...) This is the first book of the trilogy, so I can't wait to see how the characters grow, even more, and which direction the story will take!"" - Goodreads reviewer

I've read a lot of F1 romances... but this one? Takes. The. Podium. As a die hard F1 fan, I'm always hunting for inaccuracies in motorsport books but Vanessa nailed it. The research? Impeccable. The technical details? Perfection. I felt like I was back in the paddock on race weekend."" - Goodreads reviewer --- ""WOW! As a massive F1 fan, the details in this book were so accurate that I couldn't put it down. There was the suspense and angst during races that made me feel like I was watching a race, and the romance between the main characters was *chef's kiss*"" - Goodreads reviewer
