Deep End by Ali Hazelwood

A special edition with glistening cover effects and stunning four-color interior art.

A competitive diver and a world-champion swimmer find themselves in forbidden waters in this slow-burn, steamy college romance from the New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis.

Scarlett Vandermeer is focused on one thing: surviving Stanford, making it to med school, and quietly rebuilding after an injury that nearly ended her diving career. Relationships? Not on her timeline.

Lukas Blomqvist lives by discipline. It's what earns him gold medals and world records — complete focus, every stroke. On paper, he and Scarlett have nothing in common.

Until a secret slips, and everything shifts.

What begins as a carefully defined arrangement slowly unravels as Olympic pressure mounts and the line between convenience and something more becomes impossible to hold. Scarlett came here to keep her head above water — but falling for Lukas might be the one thing she can't train her way out of.
