After flunking Nationals, Serena is determined to prove herself to her family and ex-boyfriend by securing a spot on her college's elite swim team, with no choice but to ask her bitter rival and town heartthrob, Wesley, to train her. 

***

Serena Murphy has always been the girl from the wrong side of the island, especially after her father abandoned her to build a perfect life with his new family. Determined to prove herself, she sets her sights on her college's elite swim team, but without a trainer, she doesn't stand a chance.  That is, until a reckless bet leads her to one of the most high-demand coaches and her ex-boyfriend's rival, Wesley Pierce.
Serena and Wesley's late-night training sessions quickly become heated, and as Serena battles for her spot, old wounds resurface - her father's betrayal, her ex's new relationship with her high school bully, and Wesley's own family secrets. When tempers explode and fists fly, Serena is forced to ask herself: is Wesley just another rival or the only one who truly sees her?
Set against sun-soaked shorelines and stormy summer nights, Making Waves is a steamy sports romance about rivalry, redemption, and falling for the last person you should.All Rights Reserved

Watch their progress as they bask in their popularity, try mingling into the crowd, make new friends, have a go at romance, all the while trying to keep upwith their studies. On the other hand, Kai who's barely recovered from his injuries, has no time for highschool nonsense. For he has matters way more urgent to deal with, matters that could take away all the semblance of small amount of freedom he has.

On discovering unexplored aspects of his past, with the guidance of an anonymous well-wisher, whom he hates but has no option but to trust, he realizes for the first time since forever, he isn't alone in his battle. *****

Dive by H__Blanca

SOPHIE BROOKS: Party, hook-up, hangover, repeat. I don't do rules, responsibility, or monogamy. So when the chance to sleep with the hottest Olympian swimmer in the country presents itself, you can be damn sure I take it. And sneak out before he wakes up the next morning. This has been my way of life for years, and nothing has challenged it. Until him. Charming, ambitious, he draws me in and then refuses to leave. He's persistent, annoyingly so, keeps coming back like a damn boomerang. And he's getting a little too close, asking a little too many questions. Questions I refuse to answer. Some things are just supposed to stay forgotten. JAYDEN SENNELS: Swimming is my life. I basically breathe water. Growing up the way I did, going to the Olympics seemed like an unattainable dream. But here I am, just fresh out of my first games, and I messed up. Big time. Everything was riding on me doing well. Failing wasn't an option. Now I have one last year at college to redeem myself. Enter her. Tall, confident, she seduces me, refuses to tell me her name, and has me waking up to an empty bed. She is an enigma, and there is most definitely something she's not telling me. From the moment I saw her, I knew. This woman is trouble in high heels. She will destroy me. And I am going to love it. 🏊‍♂️ WARNING: Strong language and sexual content. This is a book about when the past comes back to haunt you. Book #1 in the Medley series

First There Was You by toriatobin

*Book One in the Every Other Memory Series* Elle Montgomery is a model daughter, student, sister, and friend with everything ahead of her. Her ambitious, A-type personality doesn't leave a lot of room for her to relax, and she struggles to find balance as life becomes more and more complicated. But when she finds herself drawn back to childhood friend and reluctant bad boy Greyson Pruitt, who she's loved longer than she can even remember, life as Elle knows it will never be the same - and neither will she. From the outside looking in, Greyson Pruitt has it all. A one way ticket to division one college hockey and fast track to the NHL, parents who are madly in love (emphasis on madly), and no shortage of girls who are interested in capturing his cautious heart. But no one can see his world crumbling around him as we watches his friend battle a potentially terminal illness, his sister move six thousand miles away, and his parents' unpredictable, rollercoaster relationship fracture. So when the girl he's looked out for all his life sees what no one else can, how is he supposed to say no to what she offers, what he's always wanted? The only thing standing in his way? The fear that his happiness will come at the expense of hers. Stay tuned!
