ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date November 18,2025

Francesca Accardi is rewriting the record books at Titans Racing. With the first female team owner in her corner and the weight of history on her shoulders, she knows the only way to silence doubters is to win. Every lap. Every race.

Ronan Barnes dominates on Sunday and dares the world to judge him on Monday. Arrogant, electric, relentless, he has no time for niceties—or for the rookie who refuses to yield. Forced together for press tours and charity laps, their sniping becomes a spark neither can shake. But rival teams don’t tolerate distractions, sponsors spook fast, and one misstep could cost Francesca her seat and Ronan his shot at the championship.

When Ronan’s private life—and his mother’s addiction—become an issue he can no longer avoid, Francesca is there as his emotional support. Compassion cracks his armor. He defends her in the paddock; she stands beside him when it matters. Enemies become allies. Allies become something no rule book can define.

With a title on the line, they must choose: her hard-won seat, his crown, or a future together—if they dare cross the line.

Questionable actions on a qualifying race place Ronan Barnes in Francesca Accardi’s orbit.

The world building focuses on the life of a race car driver: the thrill of the race, and the dangers on the track. As Ronan and Francesca agree to keep their relationships a secret, Ronan’s dysfunctional family dynamics continues to eat at our story line hero, as the competition on the track forces Francesca to reconsider her future going forward.

The relationship between Ronan and Francesca is an enemies to friends to lovers relationship between competing drivers, and sponsors but Francesca is determined to understand what makes Ronan tick, and the deeper she digs, the more she finds herself falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The energetic secondary and supporting characters include drivers Ronan’s former best friend Lex, and his significant other Lex, Nash and Bex, Reid Hemsworth and Carlos Moreno. We are introduced to Francesca’s parents Giulia and Luca, and Ronan’s embattled parents Vivienne and Michael Barnes.

FORMULA DREAMS is a story of family and relationships, competition and acceptance, grief and loss, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is edgy and captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are determined and charismatic

A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.

Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.
