Deep End Scarlett's laser-focused on diving her way into med school and putting a career-threatening injury behind her—definitely not on falling for anyone, especially not the swimming world's golden boy. But when Lukas, Stanford's champion swim captain, discovers her carefully guarded secret, they strike up a temporary arrangement that's supposed to be purely physical and perfectly uncomplicated. As Olympic season approaches and the pressure mounts, their fling becomes increasingly difficult to ignore, and Scarlett finds herself in the most dangerous waters of all: falling hard for someone she was never supposed to want. It's a deliciously steamy college romance with two competitive athletes who discover that the greatest risk might just be opening their hearts to each other.

Think Khalid's vulnerability meets The Weeknd's edge, with sultry vocals and pulsing beats that simmer beneath the surface of something dangerous and irresistible.
