Deep End

Scarlett is a Stanford diver trying to keep her academics, training, friendships, and future plans under control. But the demands of elite competition leave little room for mistakes-and even less room for the complications that come with getting close to Lukas, a high-achieving swimmer whose presence is impossible to ignore.

As the season unfolds through practices, dual meets, national competitions, travel, therapy sessions, friendships, and academic pressure, Scarlett is pushed to confront what she wants from diving, from the people around her, and from herself. Her growing relationship with Lukas becomes increasingly difficult to separate from the rest of her life, while old fears and new expectations complicate every choice.

Deep End is a contemporary new-adult romance set in the world of collegiate swimming and diving, blending competitive sports, academic ambition, friendship, intimacy, and emotional growth.
