Description
Coming to Arvine University was supposed to be a fresh start—a clean slate where the only thing that mattered was hitting personal bests in the pool. I was determined to keep my head down, secure my future, and distance myself from the person I used to be. But the high-pressure environment of the university swim team hides secrets beneath the surface, and my solitary plans are dismantled the moment I slip up in the locker room.
Cade Mercer, the enigmatic team captain, doesn’t just notice my unhidden arousal; he decides to take charge of the situation. Rather than offering judgment, he presents a dangerous solution to my building tension, framed as just another drill meant to sharpen our focus before practice.
I know I should walk away. I am terrified of jeopardizing the scholarship I fought so hard to earn. Yet, Cade possesses a magnetic, persuasive intensity that makes every forbidden instinct feel like a rational choice. As I’m pulled further into his world, the lines between athletic competition and intimate surrender begin to blur. I came here to swim, but now I’m drowning in a temptation I no longer want to resist.
