Summary
“You’re not what I expected, Gustave,” She eventually settles on, somehow saying his name exactly as Verso had before leaving.
“I guess we’ll see if that ends up being to my detriment or not,” He replies and she finally relinquishes her hold on Gustave’s chair, who immediately pulls back from the table and stands.
“You will grow to resent meeting him,” She says finally as he turns around.
“You’re probably right,” He replies without looking at her.
——-
Gustave’s life before meeting Verso had been normal, routine, scheduled. Suddenly after one night everything in his life has become … complicated.
The more he learns about the ways the Dessendre’s operate, the deeper into their web he entangles himself in, the harder it seems to draw himself out.

Summary
Heated Rivalry meets Free! in this slow-burn swimming romance with messy feelings, competitive angst, and two idiots who take a decade to figure out they're in love.
They stared at each other. The anger had shifted into something else, something charged and dangerous that made Gustave's heart hammer for reasons that had nothing to do with the fight.
"I hate you," Gustave said. It came out wrong—not angry, almost desperate.
"I hate you too," Verso said, and his eyes were dark, intense, fixed on Gustave's face.Gustave Augustin has spent his entire swimming career finishing second to Verso Dessendre. At 18, they finally meet at French Nationals. The rivalry is instant. The attraction is unwanted. The hookup is inevitable.
The nine-year toxic situationship? That's where it gets complicated.
Because they have rules: just physical, no feelings, no one can know. They follow them religiously—until they can't anymore.Now they are forced to choose: keep hiding, or risk everything.
