Aidan is the swim team's captain—reliable, hardworking, and quietly carrying his family's weight. When he loses the after-school job that covers his mother's medical bills, the last person he expects to show up with an offer is Will, the wealthy classmate whose interference caused the whole mess in the first place. The gig: pool boy at Will's estate. The pay: too good to refuse.
Aidan takes the work and tries to keep his pride intact. What neither of them plans for is the pull that builds between shifts—quiet, complicated, and directly in the crosshairs of two feuding families and a school full of people waiting for someone to slip. Keeping the job secret is hard enough; keeping the feelings hidden may be impossible.
