Scarlett Vandermeer is used to swimming against the current. A junior at Stanford and a dedicated student-athlete specializing in platform diving, she keeps her focus on two things—recovering from the injury that nearly ended her career and getting into med school. Relationships don’t fit into her plans—or so she tells herself.
Lukas Blomqvist, swim captain, world champion, and all-around aquatics golden boy, thrives on discipline. His complete focus on every stroke has earned him gold medals and shattered records. On the surface, he and Scarlett couldn’t be more different. But when a long-kept secret slips out, everything shifts.
What starts as a simple arrangement soon intensifies as the Olympic pressure mounts. Their connection was never meant to be more than a temporary, mutually beneficial fling. But as Scarlett struggles to stay away, she realizes her heart may be in deeper waters than she ever expected.
