Deep End by Ali Hazelwood 

"It was supposed to be temporary. It’s anything but."

Scarlett Vandermeer has her sights set on med school — and nothing, not even a devastating injury, will keep her from chasing her dream. She definitely doesn’t have time for distractions. Especially not Lukas Blomqvist, Stanford’s swim captain, Olympic hopeful, and the golden boy of the pool.

But when a shared secret pulls them together, Scarlett and Lukas strike up a no-strings arrangement. As Olympic pressure builds, so does the chemistry between them — and suddenly, Scarlett’s carefully guarded heart is at risk of diving deep.
