When gangster 'Gigi' meets fearless racing driver 'Bibi', they must fight for their love affair to the bitter end.

synopsis

When Gino meets racing driver Bénédicte, it's love at first sight. Passionate. Unconditional. Fiery. But Gino has a secret. The kind of secret that can endanger your life and the lives of those around you. Gino and Bénédicte will have to fight against fate, reason and their own weaknesses to save their love.
Lorsque Gino rencontre Bénédicte, c’est la passion. Totale. Incandescente. Mais Gino a un secret. De ceux qui mettent votre vie et votre entourage en danger. Alors Gino et Bénédicte vont devoir se battre envers et contre tous, contre la raison et contre leurs propres failles pour pouvoir rester fidèles à leur amour.
Het is liefde op het eerste gezicht tussen de raadselachtige Gino "Gigi" Vanoirbeek en de beloftevolle racepilote Bénédicte “Bibi" Delhany. Passionele, onvoorwaardelijke liefde. Maar Gigi draagt een geheim met zich mee. Het soort geheim dat levensbedreigend kan zijn, voor hen beiden en voor iedereen rond hen. Gigi en Bibi zullen tegen noodlot, rede en eigen zwaktes moeten vechten om hun liefde te redden. Maar hoe lang kan je vechten voor iets dat misschien al lang verloren is?
