   Summary

   Prince Max Emilian Verstappen: young, handsome, heir to the throne of Belgium, and profoundly disenchanted by that fact. If Max had it his way, he never would have been born into royalty, but he was used to never having things turn out the way he wanted them to - and he forced himself to accept that that was the way things would always be.

   Or at least he had, until a chance meeting with a certain Formula 1 driver manages to turn his entire world upside down.

    

   Alternatively: Max is the crown prince of Belgium, Daniel is still Daniel, and the two still somehow manage to meet and fall in love against all odds.
