Simone Soltani | Author-Reader Match: CROSS THE LINE

Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Simone Soltani!

Writes:

CROSS THE LINE is a sweet and spicy brother’s best friend Formula 1 romance in which a talented driver needs help recovering his image after a PR disaster. When he encounters his best friend’s little sister at a party in Monaco, he realizes she’s the perfect person to revive his reputation. There’s only one little problem—they kissed last year and he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it since. Between being her new boss and her brother’s best friend, they both know their relationship needs to stay strictly platonic. But in the glittering world of Formula 1, some lines are meant to be crossed…

About:

I’m a romance author who loves traveling the world, drinking fancy little drinks, and long walks around Formula 1 circuits. When I’m not writing, I can usually be found cuddled up with my dogs on the couch while watching sports on TV or planning my next vacation to somewhere I can bask in the sun. I also enjoy baking, collecting too many mugs that I will never use, and adding to my never-ending TBR pile.

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

• Interested in the action and drama of Formula 1 (or is willing to get into it!)
• Adores sunshine characters who are kind and supportive of their love interest
• Likes a romance that’s both sweet and spicy
• Will sing along to the songs in Bollywood movies

What to expect if we're compatible:

• A light-hearted romance that will take you all around the world, from Monaco to Malibu and Singapore to Silverstone
• A cast of characters whose friend groups you’ll love to join
• Asking yourself, “Ooh, should I try to make macarons?” Then deciding that no, you should probably just go buy a box
• Swooning over F1 drivers who always know the right thing to say

CROSS THE LINE by Simone Soltani

Lights Out #1

Her brother’s best friend sends her heart racing in this sparkling Formula 1 romance.

Formula 1 driver Dev Anderson’s career is on the line. After a social media disaster leaves him with an angry team and sponsors threatening to jump ship, he needs someone to help save his image. At a party in Monaco, he bumps into the woman who can fix it all. There’s just one problem: she’s his best friend’s little sister. And, okay, maybe there’s another problem—he kissed her last year and hasn’t been able to stop thinking about it since.

Recent college grad Willow Williams needs a job. She may have a talent for seeing the bright side of any bad situation, but it’s hard to stay positive when she’s struggling to get hired. So when Dev offers her a temporary solution, she can’t help but say yes. Even if it means ignoring the crush she’s had on him since childhood.

Willow and Dev are determined to keep things strictly professional, regardless of old feelings and the blazing chemistry between them. But in the glittering and high-stakes world of Formula 1, some lines are meant to be crossed…
