When Eleazar Roussel, a restrained and ruthlessly efficient CEO, loses Remy Sullivan—the reckless, brilliant F1 rookie he quietly loved—his world collapses. Months of grief become a miracle: he wakes nine years earlier, and Remy is eighteen, still raw and afraid, just coming back from a childhood spent in tenements and late-night street races. Eleazar uses every advantage time gives him: a discreet marriage contract, a guarded home, and a plan to rewrite Remy’s life. What starts as a clinical rescue turns messy and warm. Remy is wary, wounded, and painfully shy when he speaks; Eleazar is older, insistent, and soft behind the control. As Eleazar protects, tutors, and nudges Remy toward a future he never had, both men confront the scars of abandonment, the violence of fame, and the messy insistence of love. Second Lap for My Heart is a tender slow-burn romance about second chances, quiet devotion, and how saving someone else can save yourself. Expect racing nights, family politics, heated misunderstandings, and a very determined older man who will not be denied.
