Heat Lane (Varsity Heat #3)
Kadence Avery

Between impossible drills, brutal pressure, and the icy stares of the team’s star captain, she’s barely keeping her head above water. But Skylar Blake isn’t just the golden girl of the lanes, she’s the kind of beautiful that burns, and the kind of leader who sees everything.
When the coach pairs them as mentor and mentee, Talia’s world flips.
Skylar is intense. Untouchable. And maybe, just maybe, not as unshakable as she seems.
Every stolen glance in the locker room.
Every near-touch at the edge of the pool.
Every word that feels too heavy, too honest, too late.
Their chemistry is undeniable.
But their connection? Forbidden.
Because rules are clear, no distractions, no drama, and absolutely no falling for each other.
Too bad Talia never learned how to follow the rules.
And Skylar’s finally ready to break them.
A slow-burn, high-heat, rivals-to-lovers sports romance about pressure, power, and the kind of love you fight for.
