Book overview

One girl. Two boys. Three trimesters of school. Who will win?

 

Ash Stampford is a shy girl with a plan: defend her state swimming title and graduate valedictorian. But she doesn't plan on getting swept away by a flood of distractions and unfamiliar feelings.

 

A new rival in the pool is a bigger challenge than she expects. Then Dylan, a popular and gorgeous swimmer, seems to set his sights on Ash. Unsure of herself and hurt because her secret crush only wants to be friends, Ash accepts Dylan's offer of a date.

 

With rumors and threats circulating, and the real reason Dylan dates her revealed, Ash must learn how to swim upstream in unfamiliar waters.

 

Dive headfirst into book one of the Love is a Triathlon series, and swim along with Ash during the first trimester of her senior year.
