About Backstroke

A forbidden stepbrother. A morally gray predator. A girl who should have known better than to bleed in shark-infested waters.

Fallon

Frampton University was supposed to be a fresh start — keep my head down, earn my degree, and get out. I wasn’t looking for enemies. But I found one anyway, and he happens to be the most dangerous man on campus.

Remington Frampton. The Shark. Heir to the Frampton legacy, king of the pool, and the golden god everyone bows to, except me. The moment I crossed him, I became his next obsession. Now he’s not just my enemy.

He’s my stepbrother.

Remy

Everyone at Frampton University knows their place—below me. I built this kingdom stroke by stroke, and no one disrupts my current. Until her.

Fallon Monroe walks into my world with defiance written all over her face, and suddenly I can’t stop circling. She thinks she can survive me. She has no idea what I’m capable of.

The predator in me doesn’t stop at the water’s edge.

Now she’s living under my roof, sleeping down the hall, and testing every boundary I’ve set. The dark pull between us should be reason enough to walk away.

But sharks don’t walk. They feed.
