Confidence doesn’t come before the leap—it comes because of it.

Talia Brooks can teach anyone to float—except herself. As the head instructor at a community pool, she’s mastered calm professionalism, deflecting curiosity about her curves with sharp humor and unshakable poise. After years of navigating an industry obsessed with image, she’s finally built a world where she feels in control. Until Ethan Cole arrives.

Ethan is everything she doesn’t trust: charming, athletic, and completely at ease in the spotlight. The former triathlete and motivational speaker has been hired to expand the center’s programs, and he’s full of bright ideas that upend Talia’s carefully ordered world. When his enthusiasm creates chaos—and an accident nearly sends him sinking—Talia dives in, literally and figuratively, to pull him back to the surface.

What begins as rivalry quickly turns into something else: partnership, laughter, and the slow realization that courage looks different on everyone. As they train together for a charity triathlon, Talia learns to let herself be seen, and Ethan discovers that strength doesn’t mean perfection. Beneath the waterline, vulnerability becomes their shared language, and trust starts to feel less like risk and more like freedom.

Set against the backdrop of a small-town aquatic center, Deep End Love is a bright, heartfelt slow-burn romance that celebrates body confidence, emotional bravery, and the transformative power of falling—into the water, into laughter, and into love.

This is a story for every woman who’s ever felt too much, too visible, or not enough, and for anyone who’s ever learned that love doesn’t wait for perfect timing—it begins the moment you dare to float.
