[Castoria U 01] • Rowing Steady

The hottest kiss of his life was with a complete stranger. Thank goodness he’ll never have to see her again….

James Buchanan, a grumpy rower with his last chance to earn his spot on the national team, never anticipated he’d fall for the five-foot coxswain that bounced into his life. With an entire competitive season on the line, the last thing is he needs is anything that will break his focus, which is why he decides to do the only sane thing possible: get her off the team.

Armed with a foolproof plan, he knows the sacrifice will be worth it when he reaches his goals. But James can’t help himself from protecting her when he should be tormenting her, fighting for her when he should be ignoring her.

Esmeralda Steadman never expected to run into the hot kiss guy she totally accosted on pledge night, but when she reports for her first day with Castoria’s rowing team, she’s met with the same soulful green eyes that have been haunting her dirty fantasies. That wouldn’t be so bad, except Ezzie has dreams of her own, and a prestigious internship that will take all of her attention to win.

Despite not being built for love, Ezzie finds herself staring at his naked body during art class and laughing at his stupid beaver jokes.

With each of them so driven, the only option is to keep their hands, and growing feelings, to themselves. But will they be able to resist the pull of their perfect one night kiss?
