Going Under

Budding journalism student, Lillian Olsen, doesn’t want to blow her first assignment—interview a swimmer on the undefeated team at Drexel University—but well, she doesn’t exactly hang out with the jockular type. And she definitely doesn’t go near swimming pools, having nearly drowned as a child.

An Olympic favorite to win four gold medals, Taylor Lockwood got injured before he could even leave the starting block. Now, two years later, he doesn’t do interviews, even when the journalist wields a pen that can write upside down and has mesmerizing brown eyes. He’s not interested in dredging up that past, as it only reminds him that his girlfriend left him for another athlete.

But he answers Lilly’s questions and has a hard time leaving when the interview is over. Once she has his number, he rushes off, accidentally taking her pen with him. A mistake? Maybe. Maybe not.

She doesn’t fit in Taylor’s adrenaline-filled world of motocross, skydiving, and zip-lining. He stands out at the ballet and has never stayed home on a Sundayafternoon to watch movies.

She’ll have to figure out how to live more dangerously to be with him—including getting in the swimming pool—and he’ll have to decide what’s more important: the rush he gets from jumping out of an airplane or the rush he gets from kissing Lilly. She has more to lose than a favorite pen, and he has more to lose than his Olympic aspirations; they could both lose their hearts.
