The Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!
A competitive diver and an ace swimmer jump into forbidden waters in this steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.
Scarlett Vandermeer is swimming upstream. A Junior at Stanford and a student-athlete who specializes in platform diving, Scarlett prefers to keep her head down, concentrating on getting into med school and on recovering from the injury that almost ended her career. She has no time for relationships—at least, that’s what she tells herself.
Swim captain, world champion, all-around aquatics golden boy, Lukas Blomqvist thrives on discipline. It’s how he wins gold medals and breaks records: complete focus, with every stroke. On the surface, Lukas and Scarlett have nothing in common. Until a well-guarded secret slips out, and everything changes.
So they start an arrangement. And as the pressure leading to the Olympics heats up, so does their relationship. It was supposed to be just a temporary, mutually satisfying fling. But when staying away from Lukas becomes impossible, Scarlett realizes that her heart might be treading into dangerous water...

Where can I get my own Lukas
"Where can I get me a man like Lukas? This book was relatable on so many levels (form the mental component of the FMC at least), personally. I loved the relationship Vandy and Lukas had from the start, the tension was amazing! Some of the spicier scenes were a bit bland (in terms of what both were supposedly Into) but I still loved every single second of it."

Made me rethink my life
"The title sounds dramatic, but it serious left me pondering about my life when I finished the book. I usually eat up Ali Hazelwood’s STEM romances like ice cream but this one hit my differently. I used to swim professionally as a kid and seeing the chemistry in this book- I wish I was her. A med student an a successful diver? The love interest too?? Also the picture on the inside of the book?? Ali actually ate with this book 10/10"

Ali Hazelwood is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically and The Love Hypothesis, as well as a writer of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the US to pursue a PhD in neuroscience. When Ali is not at work, she can be found crocheting, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her three feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).
