The Deep End of the Pool

By Dean Backus

Someone is abusing Shannon...and the abuser is his girlfriend. High school swimming star Shannon "Shan" Milne is looking forward to starting his junior year at the prestigious Jefferson Academy, and putting behind the baggage and nightmares of his childhood. His new friends, Zip and Sonya, seem like they'll be good allies for him as well. But then Shan meets beautiful Kallie Corcoran...a girl who isn't used to hearing the word "no." And Kallie wants Shan to be her A-list boyfriend, and isolates him from anyone she doesn't feel worthy of his time. It isn't long before Shan is being psychologically and physically abused by Kallie, and ensnared by her wealthy, powerful family - a family with a great many dark secrets. Can Shan's friends ultimately rescue him from Kallie's net? Or will he continue to sink into darkness...in the deep end of the pool?
