Rivals in the Water

Some people spend years searching for the right person. Alex found him twice. College swimmer Alex Bennett never expected Ryan Carter-the rival he never quite forgot-to crash back into his life. He definitely didn't expect Ryan to become his roommate. Years after their fierce high-school competition ended, they're suddenly sharing a room, a swim team, and the same pool. The rivalry is still there.
So is the chemistry Alex spent years trying not to think about. Between grueling practices, late-night conversations, team chaos, road trips, and races where hundredths of a second can mean everything, the line between competition and attraction disappears. But falling for Ryan turns out to be the easy part. As championship season approaches, Alex must confront the pressure he puts on himself-in the pool, in his future, and in love-while Ryan faces the question of who he wants to be when swimming no longer defines him.
They were rivals once. This time, they might become something worth holding on to.
