Allow me to introduce you to the stars of Too Fast to Fall:

The hero: Emilio Baquero

A brooding Spanish Formula 1 driver who is talented, intense, and having a very bad time. His career is under pressure, his personal life is complicated, and the only creature he trusts without hesitation is his dog.

He is not in the market for feelings.
He is not interested in emotional vulnerability.
He is absolutely not prepared for the woman who walks into his home and starts quietly changing everything.

The heroine: Piper Murphy

A sweet, capable dog nanny with warmth for days and a heart big enough to care deeply without making a spectacle of it. She’s sunshine, but not in a flimsy way—she’s steady, compassionate, and much stronger than people might assume at first glance.

She’s there to do a job.
She is not trying to fix a broken man.
But she does have a way of seeing through his walls.

The dog: Gus

Adorable. Beloved. Possibly the smartest one in the room. Also very naughty when necessary.

Gus is the reason they meet, the reason they’re thrown together, and—arguably—the reason Emilio and Piper never had a chance. I’m just saying, some dogs fetch tennis balls. Some dogs fetch soulmates.

What I love most about this story is the emotional contrast between them: he’s all storm clouds and restraint, and she brings warmth without ever pushing too hard. The chemistry builds in all those lovely little moments—shared space, quiet trust, reluctant laughter, and feelings no one ever intended to have.

Too Fast to Fall releases May 26, and I’m so excited for you to meet Emilio, Piper, and Gus!
