Elena Sato has her final season planned down to the minute: perfect splits, perfect grades, med-school interviews, and a clean exit that keeps her scholarships-and her future-untouched.
Marisol Varela has one plan: run fast, stay eligible, and keep her feelings locked down before they wreck everything.
They've been best friends and training partners since freshman year-so in sync they don't need words, so close the whole team has a betting pool on when they'll finally admit what everyone else already knows. Elena calls it ridiculous. Marisol laughs like it's hilarious.
Then they both hit a personal record...and under empty stadium lights, Marisol kisses Elena on pure adrenaline and panic.
After that, nothing fits the old rhythm.
Marisol starts pulling back, convinced she's a risk Elena can't afford. Elena spirals harder, trying to measure what can't be logged. Their races get messier. The pressure gets louder. And the program's no distractions rules start to feel less like protection and more like a cage-especially for women who are always one headline away from losing everything they've earned.
But Elena isn't the kind of girl who quietly sacrifices herself anymore.
And Marisol is done being someone's secret.
From late-night stretch sessions that turn into dangerous proximity, to a stormy blackout that leaves them with one couch, one blanket, and nowhere to hide from the truth, Last Lap is a slow-burn best-friends-to-lovers romance about choosing each other without burning down the life you've fought for.
Because the hardest race isn't the one on the track.
It's the one that asks you to want what you want-out loud.
