About the Book
Jax Kingston numbs his pain with pills, alcohol, and adrenaline — until one catastrophic mistake threatens to end his Formula 1 career. His team’s solution is Elena, hired as PR damage control and determined to fix his broken reputation whether he likes it or not. Elena, meanwhile, took the job to escape her own financial disaster, with one season, one job, and one impossible, broody driver standing between her and stability. Wrecked is Book 3 in Lauren Asher’s Dirty Air series — a steamy standalone that layers real themes of addiction, mental health, and trauma underneath its high-octane F1 romance.
