Under Pressure

She's built her life on control.

To everyone at school, Olivia Ellis is untouchable. Cold. Arrogant. Impossible to read.
A tennis prodigy with a reputation she stopped correcting a long time ago.

Whatever. Let them think what they want.

He doesn't.

Theodore Montclair is the campus golden boy. Star swimmer. Future pro.
The kind of guy who smiles like he has nothing to hide and acts like rules are optional.

They shouldn't cross paths.
And they definitely shouldn't end up in the same bed after a party they barely remember.

It was supposed to be a mistake.
A sneaky link. Nothing more.
No names. No feelings. No complications.

But pressure changes things.

On the court, she knows how to handle it.
In the water, he was made for it.
Off the record... neither of them stands a chance.

And the higher they rise, the harder it gets to pretend it's still just casual.
Because some things aren't meant to stay hidden.

And some people aren't meant to stay temporary.
