Match Point - by Rl Burgess (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

After giving up her Grand Slam dream for love five years ago, Jodi Richards is ready to make a comeback. Her heart is broken but her mind is clear: tennis is her only true love. Hoping to earn the wild card entry for the US Open, she rehires her coach and starts the grueling work of getting back on the pro-circuit. It's a long shot but she's more determined than ever...

A successful Juniors coach, Miranda Ciccone jumps at the chance to join Team Richards as Jodi's assistant coach. Thrown together constantly as they travel to major tournaments, the two women fight their growing attraction. When Miranda realizes she can no longer ignore her feelings for Jodi, she must choose: stay at the risk of distracting Jodi from her biggest professional opportunity, or silently turn her back on the possibility of love. Either way--she could end up destroying Jodi's dream.

Settling for either love or tennis would be easy--but having both seems nearly impossible. Will Jodi and Miranda play it safe or step up their game for the chance to win it all?

About the Author

At the age of 22, RL's friend shouted her to a visit with Rainbow Psychic. Rainbow held RL's hand across a worn Formica table and told her she would be a writer, describing the life she would have, sitting on her porch with a fat Labrador and a swing seat. A musician at the time, RL felt vaguely disappointed, shrugging off Rainbow's vision to pursue her dreams of touring the world in a band. Fourteen years later, her world touring accomplished, RL found herself pacing her house in the evenings while her beloved five year old son slept, wondering what to do with herself. Her partner suggested she write. And the rest is history.

NB: Whilst they do not yet have a Labrador or a swing seat, they all live happily in Melbourne, Australia with a perfectly functioning porch and two happy cats.
