Chapter One
She had to steel herself to place the call. It was hard to believe
she had once taken Ram on as easily as any tomboy took on her
older brother's best friend, but a lot of water had passed under
the bridge since then and these days Ram was a royal playboy -
Whilst Mia had issues -
Scars and issues, as well as a desire to race cars again that refused to be repressed.
Cars? Scars? Get real, Mia. At least, don't lie to yourself. This is a chance in a million to see Ram again.
She hadn't spoken to Ram for… too long, anyway, Mia reflected as she waited for the call to connect. From what she'd read about him in the press she expected Ram to be as changed as she was. Ram had announced he would shortly be quitting his playboy life to serve his people in the independent state of Ramprakesh, but before that he was to enjoy one last indulgence - a timed rally car race across Europe in his super-car.
As soon as the newsflash came on, saying Ram's co-driver had been taken ill Mia knew it was her chance to step in. Ram had to find someone in order to complete the last leg of the rally which would take place in the winding streets of Monte Carlo - the same glittering locale where Mia had made a new life after an accident in a rally car had nearly blinded her.
Having believed she would never race again, this was a chance in a million to compete at the highest level, but first there was a little hurdle to overcome: she had to convince Ram to take her on.
