    Summary

    The issue Alicent has with Rhaenyra’s ego is simple—as a driver and a mechanic they have two very different jobs. Alicent’s job is to understand Rhaenyra’s relationship to the car and how it affects the build. Then, she has to accommodate. Alicent is always watching. Every turn of the wheel, every crash, every race start, every press of the pedal, Alicent is watching. It’s her job to count the flecks of rubber flying off the tyres at 360 KM/H. Rhaenyra, despite this, thinks she knows every fucking thing there is to know about her car. Alicent knows you can only see so much from inside. That’s something Rhaenyra refuses to understand.

    Rhaenyra Targaryen is one of the most outstanding drivers in the world, with three F1 championships to her name and another season just kicking off. Alicent Hightower is the woman behind the car itself—the Number One Mechanic. Every build goes through her from chassis up. For two years, she's been working with Ferrari—specifically on Rhaenyra's car. The only problem with this is the two of them spend most of their time in the garage trying not to bite each other's heads off.

    Summary

    She shakes her head. “What did you think this was going to be, Rhaenyra? Quickies in my office? You going to finger me in the lunch line?”

    Rhaenyra quirks a brow. “I’d wait until we sat down, at least.”

    Summary

    Rhaenyra takes a sip of her drink, eyes searching across the room. Alicent is sitting on the plush sofa in the sunken living room talking with Aegon. The soft light from the floor lamp bounces off her auburn curls, casts shadows on her cheek bones. Her face is alight with a brilliant smile. She is exquisite. Rhaenyra aches.

    Laena clicks her fingers in front of Rhaenyra’s face, “Oy. Stop that. You can’t immediately go all moony looking at her when I’ve just told you off about it.”

    “Apologies, Laena. I can’t really help it.” Rhaenyra mumbles into her drink. She is just drunk enough to be unfailingly honest.

    “I know you can’t, you idiot. That’s my whole point. You can’t keep casually sleeping together if you have feelings for her.”

    She’s right of course. But that doesn’t mean Rhaenyra is going to listen.

    Summary

    “No, I’m only joking, it would absolutely be a date, yeah. You’re just so fascinating, I want to pick your brain apart with like… an ice pick or something.”

    “A lobotomy, you are describing a lobotomy,” Alicent murmurs.

    Alicent is the Director of Communications for the Vice President. Rhaenyra serves as the White House Liaison to the President. Which means they see each other every day. Something that would not be a problem at all—if not for the fact that Alicent absolutely hates Rhaenyra's guts.

    Summary

    and we both know what happened to you, why you're out on your own

     

    Rhaenyra gets stuck in a snowstorm driving up to meet her family in the small mountain town where they spend their Christmases. What she doesn't expect is to find a beautiful stranger on the side of the road with a flat tire—a stranger who, of course, absolutely despises the holidays.
