Against The Tide

Est is a top national swimmer-disciplined, focused, and completely married to his routine. In his final year of university, he has no time for distractions, especially not lazy freshmen who stumble into his world.

William, on the other hand, is the very definition of pampered. Starting his first year at university, he's horrified to learn that every student is expected to take up a part-time job. Desperate and clueless, he ends up as an assistant in the university's sports department... where he's immediately assigned to help none other than Est.

What begins as mutual annoyance slowly unravels into something softer, warmer-something that feels a lot like love. But when two people from such different worlds collide, the water can get choppy.

A slow-burn romance filled with swimming goggles, accidental pep talks, stolen glances, and the quiet realization that maybe, just maybe, they were meant to meet like this.
